Madam:
In response to your letter of the 31" ultimo,
you are advised that the records of this Bureau show that Bounty Land Warrant No. 189 for five hundred acres of land was allowed November 5, 1789, on account
of the Revolutionary War services of William Butler, Lieutenant Colonel Commandant of the Pennsylvania troops, Revolutionary War.

This Bureau has no further data relative to said
claim, owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800.

It does not appear that a claim for pension was
ever made on account of his services.

Very respectfully,
E. C. Tieman
Acting Commissioner.
