The Honorable Commissioner of Pensions, Bureau of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir: Please furnish me with any information you have in your office of the following: From your Revolutionary War pension records of Samuel Beach, who served from the State of Vermont, and who died at Whiting, Vermont, April 10th, 1829, with special reference to his service at Fort Ticonderoga, and the usual family data. What would be the expense of having his pension affidavits photodated.
Is there a pension record for Moses Beach, who served from Vermont, and who probably died in Vermont, or New York?
Is there a pension record of David Burchard, serving from Berkshire County, Mass., and who probably died in that county? Thanking you for this information, I am, Very respectfully [written signature] Charles E. Winter

Honorable Charles E. Winter

Casper, Wyoming.

My dear Mr. Winter:
In response to your letter received today, I have the honor to advise you that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services, and a careful search of the records fails to show such claims on file on account of the services of Moses Beach and David Burchard.
Photostat copies of the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 38512 of Samuel Beach will be furnished you, under the provisions of the Act of August 24, 1912, at the rate of fifteen cents a page, with twenty-five cents extra for certification if that is desired. The number of pages to be copied is six. The proper amount should be forwarded to this Bureau by Money Order drawn to the order of the Secretary of the Interior. Sincerely,    Commissioner.
