Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the records of JhonHewitt, who served with Massachusetts Troops and resided in Washington and Athens Counties, Ohio, from 1790 to 1806: Moses Hewitt, who died in Athens, County, Ohio, before 1820; Thomas Arneld, born in 1756, in Rhode Island, later lived in Athens County, Ohio; and Thomas Hudnall, who served with the Virginia Troops and resided in Athens County, Ohio, in 1820. 
A careful search of the revolutionary War records has been made and no record found of a claim for pension or bounty land having been made to the United States based upon the military service in that war of a John Hewitt, as described by you or of a Moses Hewitt; the surname was searched under all spellings. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office. 
It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining information in regard to the military service of those soldier, you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian of military records. 
Because of the great [illegible word] for Revolutionary War data and the limited trained clerical force available for furnishing such information, it is not possible to comply in full with each request for Revolutionary War data.
The record of Thomas Hudnall is furnished herewith. 
Very truly yours
