Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of recent date relative to Joel Ives, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.
In the report of the Secretary of War in regard to the United States pension establishment, printed in 1835, the name of Joel Ives is borne on a list of Invalid Pensioners who had been in receipt of pensions at the Agency of Connecticut, and whose residences could not be ascertained because of the destruction of papers when the War Office was burned in 1800 and 1814.
This soldier is reported on that list as "Joel Ives, Jr., Private, Revolutionary Army, $40 per annum, pension commenced March 4, 1789, Act of June 7, 1785, died in 1808".
There are no statements on file made by the soldier at the time of his application for pension because of the loss of the papers as noted above, therefore, this office has no further information in regard to him and none whatever in regard to his family.
Very truly yours
A. D. HILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator

He is reported on said list as "Private, Revolutionary Army, $40 per annum, pension commenced March 4, 1789, Act of June 7, 1788, died in 1808."
Very truly yours
