Am writing you for information regarding the Revolutionary soldier, Zabud June, who was living in the Town of Dryden, Tompkins County, N.Y. at the time he made application for a pension on May 23, 1821, which is on file in the County Clerk's Office, Ithaca, N. Y. 
I would like a copy of his war record as given in pension claim, also any family data which the papers may contain is especially desired to complete the papers of several of his descendants who are eligible to become members of the D. A. R. and S. A. R. 
I shall appreciate as early a reply as possible, and I wish to thank you for the splendid help given me in the past. 
Very truly yours, Nellie Smelzer
