Sir
I have been drawn by Mr. Michael Warner of York Co. Pa. for many years past a Revolutionary pension at $96 per annum to write you and inquire if his services have not entitled him to a share a tract of homely land. He says that his last term of enlistment was "for during the war" and that he was discharged soon after the war's termination.
If he should be entitled to anything for his services would you be kind enough to direct him how he should proceed to draw it.
Very truly and respectfully yours.

Sir
Michael Learner of York Pa who served to the end of the Revolutionary war from Oct 1781 and who is now on the Pension roll at the rates of $76 per year under the act of 1818 is desirous of making application for an increase of his pay to that of a Sergeant. Under the act of May 15. 1828 he could have been pensioned as a Sergeant, had it not been that he was on the roll at the time of the passage of that act. Can he not however under the act of June 7. 1832 receive the pay of a Sergeant $120 per annum? I Enclose the letter of the Secretary of the Commonwealth at Harrisburg showing that Michael Learner was a Sergeant in the 1 st Penna Regiment.
Unless there is some other evidence tending to show that he served in that capacity, in your office, the enclosed certificate is the only proof he can bring to support an increase of his pay.
Yours Respectfully yours
J. C. Buchanan
