Kirksville, Missouri

Madam:

I advise you that you were furnished June 25, 1925 , the history of Robert Caldwell (S.35814), who served as a private with the Pennsylvania Troops and was allowed pension under the Act of 1818, while living in Nicholas County, Kentucky, and in 1835 was living in Marion County, Indiana.
It does not appear in said claim that the soldier ever lived in Calloway County, Missouri.
It is not the practice of the bureau to furnish a history the second time to the same person.
In order to identify the record of a particular soldier of the Revolution named Isaac Price, who might be the subject of your request, it is essential that you furnish as much as possible of the following data pertaining to him: approximate dates of birth and death, places of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.
Respectfully,

EARL D. CHURCH
Commissioner.
