J. CASSIDY GRIMES
ATTORNEY AT LAW

2926 ROBERTSON AVE.
CINCINNATI,O

April 18, 1927.

Commissioner of Pensions,
Washington, D. C.

Dear Sir:

Some time ago I wrote to the Adjutant General
and asked him for some information about one of my ancestors
Michael Cassidy, who served in the Revolutionary War.

He advised me that his records show Michael Cassidy
enlisted on September 13, 1776 in Captain Isaac Beall's, later
known as Captain John Stith's Company of the 4th Virginia
Regiment, and that he was discharged from the army about 1779.
The exact date of his discharge is not given.

I am very anxious to obtain more detailed information 
about his war record. The Adjutant General says the
records in his office is very incomplete, and the foregoing
is about all he can give me. He suggested, however, that
I write to you and that you can possibly furnish me with
further particulars. If you can give me any additional
information, I will greatly appreciate it.

Yours truly,
