Honorable W. Turner Logan
House of Representatives

My dear Mr. Logan:
In response to your letter of the 19th inst., I have the honor to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that 200 acres of bounty land were allowed on Warrant 1823 which issued November 12, 1796 on account of the services of Lieutenant Enos Reeves of the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
There is no further data on file as to this soldier and no data as to his family owing to the destruction of papers in such bounty land claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
It does not appear that pension was claimed on account of his service.
For the location of the land you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office citing all of the data in the first paragraph of this letter.
Sincerely,
[no signature]
Commissioner.

Honorable Washington Gardner,
Commissioner of Pensions
Washington, D.C.

My dear Mr. Commissioner; 
Mr. John  B. Reeves of Charleston, S.C. a valued constituent of mine and a great personal friend has written me asking that I have the pension bureau look into the matter of Captain Enos Reeves, Pennsylvania Line, See Heitmann Historical Register, also record and Pension Office. The descendants of Captain Enos Reeves have a notion that he earned valuable land as a reward for services in the Revolution. I would appreciate it if you would have this matter investigated and let me know just what you ascertain.
Thanking you for your courtesy in this matter, I am,

Yours very truly,
N. Turner Logan
