Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter of recent date, relative to Colonel Josias Carvel Hall, a soldier of the revolutionary War.

There are no further data on file in regard to this soldier because of the destruction of papers in [illegible] early applications for bounty land when the War office was burned in [illegible].

The information in regard to the location of the land, you should address the Commissioner of the General Land Office, this city.

Very truly yours
