Madam:
I advise you that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made on account of his services.
You were furnished December 28, 1925 the history of the only soldier named Robert Sadler found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
Owing to the very large number of similar inquiries and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, it is not the policy of the Bureau to send the same history twice to the same person.
Respectfully,
WINFIELD SCOTT Commissioner.

I have to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim S. 41119 it appears that Robert Sadler enlisted in 1776 and served three years as a private in Captain William Smith's Company, Colonel Brent's Virginia Regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 14, 1818 while a resident of Mathews County, Virginia.
In 1820 he was aged sixty-four years, referred to his wife Dorathy aged fifty-three or fifty-four years, and stated that he had no children living with him. He died October 31, 1823.
The above noted is the only soldier by that name found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
