Madam:
In reply to your letter of the 33" ultimo, you advised that the revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to any soldier named Charles Mather.
This Bureau has no records of services rendered prior to the War of Revolution.
You were furnished on January 18, 1913, with the military and family data contained in the Revolutionary War pension claim of Caleb Warren, Survivor File No. 14,779, in the usual form as compiled by the Bureau and as it is not the practice to furnish the same history more than once, owing to the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, the Bureau is unable to aid you further in this matter.
Very respectfully,
G. J. Saltzgaber
Commissioner
She has not lost her record but evidently does not understand what was sent her, for word "identity" has no meaning or connection with her requests.  Probably she finds he is not her ancestor at all.
