Dear Sir;
Please furnish me with the information which I have before mentioned regarding the Treats , & which you refer to in the enclosed letter.
As you mention that the work will be done by a clerk who is familiar with the character of the information usually desired by genealogists, I will make no suggestion, for his skill & judgment will suggest what is wanted.
In sending me the information I shall be glad if you will mention the name of the gentleman, in order that I may insert his name in a check for the amount necessary to reimburse him.
Truly yours
(Thos B. Hopkins)

Return this letter with your reply.
Sir:-
An examination of the records among Old Star claims shows that there are about 30 claims for pension and nearly an equal number of claims for bounty land, made by persons bearing the name of Great.
Little information could be obtained from the latter for genealogical purposes. Some of the data required by you could not as a rule be obtained from either pension or bounty land claims. Except in the case of regulars of the War of 1812 and of the Mexican War, descriptive lists could not be found. Name of battles in which soldiers were engaged, the places where they were stationed and place of enlistment and discharge are not always shown.
(over)

Such facts as would be of to you could be gathered from the case by a clerk familiar with the character of information usually desired for such purposes. This clerk thinks the cost of the labor necessary to gather the information would not exceed $10.
It would be impracticable to furnish information from the files of the late War.
Very Respectfully,
John C. Black Commissioner
Thomas S. Hopkins, Esq., 736 - 8 th St. N.W. City.
