War Office Department
I am the son and only child of Amos Tyler deceased & in the within papers it seems the deceased was entitled to land from the Government. He did distribute and had neither Editor Administrator I have been at some expense to procure the Invol, & documents if there is any information in them I wish the Office would be so good as to inform for the facts are so Notorious as to be susceptible of any proof that can be required. And the inheritance which my father left me I have retained, & so perfectly as that I have been dependent upon Charity in part for the expenses in procuring this business. The only debt due me is from the Government. And any aid in realizing what I am due from any quarter will be rec'd with heartfelt thanks.
Respectfully & C
Dire Tyler
