Mr. Pryor,
Pension Department,
Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir:-
By the enclosed clipping from the Buffalo "News" which I accidentally saw yesterday, I observe that you are quoted as an authority on the history of soldiers in the Revolutionary War.  May I trouble you to inquire if you can inform me in what regiment and company Abijah Hubbell, born in Fairfield, Conn. and who subsequently lived in Bellston and Saratoga, N.Y., served.  My father informs me that he has often heard him speak of his connection with that war, but I am at a loss to know where to place him officially.  If you are not able yourself to give the information, will you kindly inform me through what channels I can get it at Washington and what the expense, if any, will be?

Trusting that I am not imposing on you, I am,
Yours respectfully,
Clifford Hubbell
(Dictated)

The above ancestor was born in 1761 + died in 1843 at Canandaigua. His father Gershom Hubbell was possibly in the war.

Hon. Wm. Lochren,

Dear Sir:-
I have the honor to acknowledge your communication of May 12th, 1893, concerning Gershom Hubbell.  I now return the same, and hand you herewith a new request for a statement of the military history of Abijah Hubbell.  The inclosed statement returned must be for some one else.  There appears also to be a discrepancy in the date of birth, 1776, and the date of enlistment, 1782.  This would make a 6 year old patriot.

Yours very respectfully,
Clifford Hubbell
