Madam,

In reply to your letter of the 10th instant, you are advised that in the Report from the Secretary of War in relation to the Pension Establishment of the United States, which was printed in 1835; on the list of invalid pensioners of the Conn., Agency, whose residence could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of papers in the War Office in 1800 and 1814, it appears that Stephen Hull, Corporal of the Revolutionary Army was pensioned at $30 per annum, from March 4, 1789, under the Act of June 7, 1785 and that he died in 1803.

There is no further state on file relative to him owing to the loss of the papers then they were burned in the War Office as above noted.

Herewith is returned the dollar forwarded by you, as no fee is charged for this information.

Very respectfully, E.C. [illegible]

Acting Commissioner.
