Madam:
In response to your letter dated the 16" instant, you are advised that the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau show that 300 acres of bounty land were allowed on account of the services of John Blair as Captain-Lieutenant of Harrison's Continental Artillery, on Warrant # 174 which issued September 19, 1789, to Archibald Blair, heir and legal representative.

There are no papers on file relative to said claim as they were destroyed when the War office was burned in 1800.

Very respectfully,
Commissioner
