Mr. John T. Landis,
509 The Highlands Apartment Hotel,
Washington D. C.

Sir:
In response to your letter dated the 24” ultimo,
you are advised that the Revolutionary War records
of this Bureau show that 300 acres of bounty land
were allowed on account of the services of George
Handy as Captain in the Maryland Line, on Warrant
No. 1061, which issued March 1, 1801.
There are no papers on file relative to said
claim as they were destroyed when the War Office was
burned in 1814, therefore there is no further data
in regard to him.

Very respectfully,

Washington Gardner

Commissioner.
