Owing to the very large number of similar inquiries, and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, the Bureau is unable to make immediate reply to inquiries relative to soldiers of the War of the Revolution, and only two histories are furnished each inquirer.

Such information is furnished by courtesy of the Government and without fee, and letters are being answered as rapidly as possible in the order of their receipt.
Respectfully,
