Mr. Charles Greer, Room 511 Greer Building, New Castle, Penn.
Sir:
In response to your letter dated the 7 th instant, you are advised that this Bureau is unable to furnish the record of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services and a careful search of the records fails to show such a claim on file for General Simon Spalding.
The only Simon Spalding found on said records was allowed 300 acres of bounty land on Warrant No. 1948 which issued December 15, 1791 on account of his services as a Captain in the Connecticut troops. There are no papers on file relative to said claim, the same having been destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800.
Very respectfully,
E. C. Sieman
Acting Commissioner.
