Dear Madam:

  Reference is made to your letter in which you requested the War of 1812 record of Benjamin Yeats who served in that war from Pennsylvania.

  There is no claim for pension on file based upon service in the War of 1812 of the Benjamin Yeats described by you. No record has been found of the issuance of a warrant for bounty land based upon that service. All spellings of the surname were searched.

  It is suggested that information in regard to the military service of the soldier named above might be obtained from the Adjunct General, War Department, this city.

 Very truly yours
