Sir
Your letter of the 5th of January last to the Third Auditor has been referred to this office for an answer.
There is no law now in existence to authorize the payment of back pay due for services in the Revolutionary war.
The rolls in this office do not exhibit the alleged service of Lieutenant Thomas White. It is possible that evidence of his service exists in the offices of the Secretary of State and Auditor General of Pennsylvania, at Harrisburg.
Herewith I enclose instructions under the act of June 7, 1832.

Found in claim of Thomas White, Penn. S. 7882.
Elm Point - Bond Co. Ills.
Jan. 5 th 1855.
Hon. Auditor;
I address you this, to obtain information, relative to claiming the pension & pay of revolutionary soldiers; which have been granted by the the late act of Congress to those who have received nothing for their services in the revolution war.
I wish to know how to proceed according to law, — what proof is necessary to establish the claim, — to identify the person &c.
I wish to get a pension for, and the pay due to one Thomas White, a first lieutenant in the U.S. Service, in the revolutionary war. He enlisted in Chester Co. Pennsylvania, soon after the commencement of the war, and has never received anything for his service.
His claim was investigated some thirty years ago, his name, and rank, was then found upon the Books at Washington, which also showed that he had never received payment; which he could not then obtain, being cut out by the act of congress, then known as the "Limitation act," not having put in his claim in due time.
Letter to J. S. White July 28, 1855.
