Gentlemen:
One of my forebearers was John Tyler of Branford, Connecticut. It is my understanding that he was a private; enlisted 1778, February 21st, for three years, in Captain Gamaliel Painter's Company, Baldwin's Regiment of Artificers, Connecticut Artillery.
Not having anything authentic on the matter it is my desire to check up through your Bureau, if such action is permissable and correct and, therefore, I would like to obtain from you, if I can, the record of John Tyler of Branford, Connecticut.
The assumption is, of course, that there is some expense in connection with the matter and, therefore, if you will kindly advise me as to that point, I will appreciate the opportunity of meeting the situation.
Thank you in advance for your courtesy and advice.
Very truly yours,
M. E. Towner
