My friend, Mrs. W. A. Brown, 2956 - West 15th Street, wishes to join 1812 and in order that she may do so it is necessary that we have the record of her grandfather John Curry, who
served in the War of 1812. He drew a pension and resided with Duncan Curry ( Currie) Richmond County, North Carolina; was 92 years of age in 1840; he was also a Revolutionary Soldier.
I wrote to the pension Department for this data but have not gotten it. Our next meeting is Friday April 30. I am enclosing Air Mail stamp with the hope that we may get the information back for our meeting.

Gentlemen:
ATTENTION MRS. FINCH

I had the pleasure of meeting you when in Washington, Mrs. Carroll Stewart on the Veteran's Board, having introduced us.
At this time, I am trying to get the record of a few men in order that some charming friends of mine may join different patriotic organizations, namely:

1.  John Curry, served in the War of 1812 and drew a pension. His grandaughter Mrs. W. A. Brown wants to join 1812. She also had
another grandfather Oliver Wiley, who served in 1812 and a great-grandfather also named Oliver Wiley who served in Revolution.

2. Then I am most eager to get the record of John Drake b. Sep. 5, 1748 in Bucks County, Pa., served in Revolution. His obituary
states that he was a Revolutionary soldier but gives no company. He went early to Fincastle County, Virginia, but this may have
been long after Revolution. His first child was b. in Botetourt Co., in 1778. His wife was supposed to have been a Miss Neely.

3. John William Connally 3rd Ga. Battalion was paid balance of pay due him as Revolutionary soldier, March 31, 1784. L 75-1-11.
Could he also have been the John Connally who enlisted June 5, 1781 in Maryland, Continental Service?

I would appreciate having the data on John Curry as soon as you can possibly get it to me as I am holding Mrs. Brown's application. Should you send me the data on each one and it is definite enough for members to join, may I be so bold as to ask that each one be on separate sheet for the registrar general of each organization demands proof from your office, on the paper from said office and if
they are all one one record it makes it very difficult.
Thanking you and trusting that you can help me and with every good wish, I am
Sincerely yours,
Marye Sharmon Harrington
(Mrs. F. B. Harrington )
Mrs. Stewart was back here recently and we enjoyed having her so very much. She is a marvelous woman and it is certainly our loss that she is permanently located in Washington. She is the finest organizer I have ever known and our Democracy needs her in California.
