Madam;
I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 23940, it appears that Nathaniel Warner was born July 4, 1767 at East Haddam, Connecticut.
While residing in said East Haddam, he enlisted in January 1781 and served as a private in Captain Richard's Company, Colonels Sherman's and Swift's Connecticut Regiments, and was discharged in September 1783.
He was allowed pension on his application executed October 11, 1832, while a resident of Villenova, Chautauqua County, New York.
There is no data on file as to his family.
Respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.

The enclosed papers have been presented at this office, by Mr. Joseph Tufts, on behalf of Nathaniel Harner, a Pensioner under the act of June 7. 1832.
The signatures purporting to be those of the Pensioner do not appear to be genuine - I therefore submit them for your inspection, and ask your instructions -

Hon. J. L. Edwards,
Dear Sir,
Some time ago, I transmitted to you, a note, received by me from Judge Campbell of Westfield, New York, making inquiries respecting the application of Reuben Wright for a pension. Soon after, I received a note from you, on the subject, which I sent to Mr. Campbell. I have since received from him new papers in that case, to which I would call your attention. —
I also called your attention, some weeks since, to the case of Katherine Warner. In a note which I had the honor to receive from you, bearing date Jan. 22 d . 1874, you say, "The papers of Katherine Warner appear to have been expended on the 1 st October 1873, and proof required, as appears by a letter of that date addressed to Jacob Houghton of Fredonia". This was immediately communicated to Mr. Houghton, who has sent to me the accompanying papers, from which, it would seem, that you must

have failed to notice the additional papers which Mr. Houghton transmitted to you on the 12th. of October last. As so good as to reexamine the original papers, I think are noted to be on file in your office, in connection with those afterwards trans- mitted.
I have received a letter from Mr. Isaac Carpenter of Franklinville, Catteraugus County, New York, in which he states, that in October 1832, he left with you the papers of Jonathan Going, an applicant for a pension. He further states, that neither himself nor Mr. Going have ever been ap- prised of your decision in that case, or whether any has been made.
I have the Honor to be, &c.
Yours faithfully a

Sir, I herewith enclose additional proof in the case of Nathaniel Warner , whose Declaration & other papers have long since been on file in your Office; by which it will appear that he claims a Pension for services in the Revolution - It appears to me that these papers will render his case clear and satisfactory - At Warner's request, as he lives in a remote part of the County, I have to request that you will transmit his papers to me -

I am requested by Nathaniel Warner of Villanova in the county of Chenango New York, to call your attention to his application for a pension for Rev. services . He says, that he belonged to the company commanded by Capt. Richards in Col. Sherman's regiment of the Connecticut line of the Army; and that it is objected to his application, that his name cannot be found on the rolls. He suggests that probably he is called on the rolls, Nathaniel Warner Jr. and requests that further examination may be had. -
