Sir:
Yours of the 15th Inst duly reached me, in which you request information in reference to Ruth Johnson, widow of Levi Johnson of Wolcott. I have made a cautious inquiry and have assertained [ascertained] that the woman is still living and that it was commonly known in the neighbourhood of her residence that a recent application had been made to obtain bounty land for her. As this appeared to me to indicate that it must have been done with her knowledge. I presumed if sufficient to answer your purpose and did not persue [pursue] the inquiry farther lest I should excite attention, though I doubt not I could ascertain all particulars should you deem it necessary
Yours obediently 
Lucius A Thomas P. M.
