Madam:

In response to your letter received November 8, 1922, you are advised that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 589 for two hundred acres of Bounty Land was issued September 1, 1789 on account of the services of Lieutenant Robert Denny of the Maryland Line, War of Revolution.

There is no further data on file as to his services and no data on file as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very respectfully,

Commissioner.

Commissioner of Pensions
Washington D.C. 

Dear Sir
The Adj. [unclear] Office in Washington D.C. have suggested that I write to you for information concerning Robert Denny, who enlisted in the 7th Maryland from pvt [private] to Lieut [lieutenant] most of the time from 1776 to 1783 --

Did he apply for a Pension, and do your records show in what town he lived at the time he enlisted, and if he was granted a pension, do the records show where he lived when it was sent to him --

Would a pension for such services stop with him, + [and] if not, to whom was it paid --

Any information you can give me will be most gratefully received.

Very truly
Mrs. H.G. Thompson
309 East Birch St
