Honorable Miles C. Allgood, House of Representatives.
My dear Mr. Allgood:
In response to your personal inquiry of this date, I have the honor to advise you that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant No. 2443, for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued September 9, 1789 to Henry Lee, executor of Alex. Skinner, late assignee of William Winston a Lieutenant of Colonel Lee's Legion, War of the Revolution. on account of whose service the land was granted.
There is no further data on file as to said officer and no data at all as to his family, owing to the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours,
Wilder S. Fletcher
Commissioner..
