Dear Sir
I have received yours of the 30 th ult in due time. But there is one report that I do not quite understand you state that Nicolas White was allowed a yearly Pension under the act of March  March 18  th 1818. and a certificate was issued. Sept 26 th of that year But he never received any of it as can be clearly shown, And I should like for you if you can to give me the name of the person that filed in the proof, of the right to it and also when the last payment was made, as the heirs are satisfied that he never received a Dollar of it and I think the matter ought to be investigated and see what can be done about it

I should also like to know if there has been a Private Bill passed by Congress for the relief of the heirs of the Billbee families as they have the belief that a Private Bill was passed in 1856 or 57 for them. If so please give me the true name of the person named in the Bill.
Yours Respectfully Henry M. Patterson

I herewith address you concerning the case of Nicolas White Deceased who enlisted in the war of the revolution Under Captain Johnson who was in the Brigade under Morgan in the Eleventh Regiment of Infantry  riflemen in the State of Virginia his Pension has never been drawn and his heirs think that they should be entitled to his back pay he died in 1833 or 34 and he ought to be entitled as his heirs by the Law of 1832 and I think it should be due to his heirs he served 2 years and 4 months and held the rank of Sergeant in the regiment in which he served and was twice wounded at the battle of Brandywine in 1777

I wish you look into this matter and see how the matter stands for I think they are entitled to the arrears as he died after the year 1832 and you as an officer of Justice ought to grant it

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War records of Nicholas White, two, one of Maryland, the other of Virginia, Samuel B. White, John Jacobs, two, both of Maryland.
Because of the great demand for Revolutionary War data and the limited clerical force available for furnishing such information, it has not been possible to make a series of investigations and reports pertaining to soldiers of that war, for one person.
The record has been found of one Nicholas White, only, and of one John Jacobs, only, of Maryland. Their records are furnished you herewith as found in the pension claims, based upon service in the Revolutionary War.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Assistant to Administrator

This Bureau can furnish the military record of only such Revolutionary soldiers as were pensioned or whose widows were pensioned for their services.
Such of the original muster and pay rolls of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 as are now in the possession of the Government are on file in the Record and Pension Office, War Department. Original rolls and other records pertaining to service in the Revolutionary War may also be found on file in the archives of many of the original States.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
BUREAU OF PENSIONS,
WASHINGTON, D. C.,
February 19, 1898.
Madam:-
In response to your recent inquiry, referred to this Bureau by Hon. Webster Davis, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, you are advised that there are two acts of Congress granting bounty land for service in War of 1812; the first, or act of September 28, 1850, allows warrants of different denominations, according to length of service, but not in excess of 160 acres. The second, or act of March 3, 1855, grants warrants for 160 acres for 14 days' service, or participation in battle in said war; or, when a warrant of a denomination of less than 160 acres issued under act of September 28, 1850, an additional warrant of such denomination as with the one issued under act of September 28, 1850, will make 160 acres.
There were several acts granting bounty land for service in the Revolutionary war, and of different denominations, according to rank of soldier. Neither of those acts is now in force with the exception of act of March 3, 1855, which provides for widows and minor children only.
If you will state in what organizations and from what State your

Rather served an examination of the records will be made to ascertain whether warrants have issued for his services.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.
