Mr. Steinfiled Scott, Commissioner,

Dear Sir: 

     Supplementing my letter of last week (I think dated March 11th) in regard tot he Pension application papers, Revolutionary war claim of Suffrenas Duggert, I am enclosing his family record as compiled by myself, which record I did not have at hand when writing you before.  I wonder if this claim could be filed under the war of 1812.
     In regard to Revolutionary War Pension Clalim W.26546 of Jost Duggert, a resident of Fall Hill near Little Falls, NY.  Can you tell me how many photostatic pages this claim will make at 15 cents a page, plus 25 cents for certification.
     Jost Duggert's pension papers will be of unusual inters at this time on account of the D.A.R. intending to place a table on the location of the Warner Duggert Tavern where the Committee of Safety held some of their meetings during the War of the Revolution.  Warner Duggert was the father of Jost Duggert.

Truly Yours
