The only names that I am interested in the history of Samuel Cole in that his children and their descendants are known by the name of Cowles but why I do not know. Samuel Cole Jr was his son and Israel Loomis his son in law. Apparently the name had undergone no change in 1823. As they now form a distinct branch of in Cowles family I want to record their origin completely in the Cowler genealogy , a [unk] upon which I have been engaged for many years. From a personal letter to me.

The Commissioner,
Bureau of Pensions,
Washington D C

Sir:

Under date of July 12, 1915 you furnished me the military history of Samuel Cole a soldier of the Revolutionary War from Connecticut # 10478, but it is lacking in the details I desire for a family history. Therefore I write to request to be furnished with a verbatim copy of his application, if possible, for which I am willing to pay for the cost of copying and will remit payment by P.O. Money order in advance or on receipt of bill.

Respectfully

Commissioner of Pensions:

The photostat copies of the Samuel Cole papers were duly received but from a statement in the 1820 application it appears that the original declaration was dated April 13, 1818 (certificate 926) copes of which I did not get. 

Also a statement of the military history of Samuel Cole (S. 10478), July 12 1915- contains data not found in the photostat copies [unk] other & [unk] of information. If you can find the original declaration I would return a favor if you will let me know the cost of a photostat copy and I will remit money order through me or before. As the matter now stands the information I have is consisting and I want to reconcile it if I can.

Thanking you in advance and for your part [unk]. I am,

Very sincerely
