Mrs. Ruby Milligan,
626 Circle Avenue,
Highland Park, Ills.

Madam:

In response to your letter dated the 17 instant,
you are advised that in the report from the Secretary
of War in relation to the Pension Establishment of the
United States, which was printed in 1835, on the list 
of Invalid Pensioners who had been in receipt of pensions
at the Cincinnati, Ohio, Agency, whose residence
could not be ascertained, in consequence of the destruction 
of the papers in the War Office in 1801 and 1814,
appears the name of William Wells, Private, Revolutionary
Army, annual allowance $240, pension commencing
March 4, 1797, under the Act of June 7, 1785.

This Bureau has no further data in its files relative
to said pensioner , owing to the burning of the War
office in 1801.  and again when the British burned Washington in 1814.


Very respectfully,

G M Saltzgaben [signature]
Commissioner.
