Dear Madam:
You are advised that the records of this bureau show that one Jeremiah Wilson served as a private in the Revolutionary War.
His name is found on the list of invalid pensioners of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Agency, which list was printed in 1835 and is the report of the Secretary of War.
The above named soldier was pensioned on account of disability, the nature of which is not stated, from March 4, 1792, under the Act of June 7, 1785.
There are no further data in regard to him, because of the destruction of papers in such early applications, when the War Office was burned in 1800.
Very truly yours
E. W. MORGAN Acting Commissioner
