Madam:
In response to your letter of June 30, 1922, you are advised that from the records of this Bureau it appears that Lieutenant Charles Tutt , served under Colonel Hendricks in the Virginia Continental Line, was wounded at the battle of Germantown and died a few days later.
On Jan. 12, 1808, Warrant No. 384 , for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued to his heir-at-law James Tutt, whose relationship is not stated. There is no further data on file as to soldier's family or service.
The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford any information in regard to a Richard Tutt.
Very respectfully,
Washington Gardner
Commissioner.

June 20 th Pension Bureau Washington, D.C.
Virginia Records show that Charles Tutt of Culpeper Virginia - and Richard his father were both in the War of Revolution.

Will you please find out if they or their heirs received a pension? Also the names of their wives if such names are mentioned.
Thanking you for any information —
Mrs. S. H. Scallin 421 N. Lawler St. Mitchell S. Dak.
