Dear Sir:--
I am seeking some information with reference to the services during the Revolutionary War of my great-grandfather, Gilbert Hooker. More particularly, the date of his birth and death and the extent and nature of his services in the war. I understand that he had a pension before he died, and assume that your records will contain the information I need.
I wrote a letter to your department just before the inauguration, and it may be that in the excitement of the moment my letter was mislaid. Any information you can give me as to Gilbert Hooker will be very much appreciated.
