Dear Sir:
In reply to your favor of the 27th ulto. I wish to state, it was not with any intention of mine to ask for Revolutionary data contrary to the customs of your office, indeed I was not asking for my family pension records, only helping other friends with their search; The inquiries will all be sent in later, which will delay me in finishing my work, which is difficult enough at best.
Now under these conditions you cannot give me the information herein asked, please give me the name of some one who I can rely upon to do careful copying, and proper fee charged for such information. If you can, please send me the following record.
On Pension Roll, Senate Doc. (514) 1st Ses. 23rd Cong., 1834-5; Pennsylvania Pen. Roll,

page 193, Westmoreland Co., I find Baltzer Trout, pt., Virginia Continental Line, entered 3/4/831 placed 5/3/833; age 77.
Also on the New York Pen. Roll, Senate Doc. (55), 1st ses. 16th Cong., act 3/18/818-1/20/820 458 page; I find Adam Trout, pt. New York Line.
I certainly will be very grateful to you, and the Government, for this information, as I am limited as to time; otherwise I will have to wait, and send to the descendants, who live something over 200 miles with irregular mails.
Trusting you will pardon the length of this communication, thanking you for this courtesy in advance, and hoping to hear favorably, I am,
Very respectfully,
N.B. All family, and Revolutionary War data needed, also certificate number, date of death and heirs.
