Sir
I have the honor to return you the memo of Lt. Livingston and in reply thereto to inform you that it does not comport with the rules of the Dept t to furnish claimants with the evidences which the rolls may afford of their services services before a claim is duly asserted under the safe guards which the regulations provide.
They will have the full benefit of any evidence in this Office when their claims are examined.
The case of Edward Evans is an application under the acts of 18 March 1818 & 1 May 1820, founded upon alleged service in the Va. Line on Continental establishment. The rolls of that Line do not bear his name which by a rule of this Dept t imposes upon him the obligation of proving his service by two credible witnesses who must be able to state of their personal knowledge the time & manner of his entry & leaving the service the Company Reg t & Line to which he belonged.
The regulations in relation to the property in possession on 18 March 1818 & its changes must be

strictly complied with - a copy is enclosed -
The case of Thos. Maxwell under the act of 7 June 32 is founded upon 2 1/2 years serv from latter part of 76 to spring of 79 in Capt. Lee's company in Col. Bland's Regt of Dragoons. Full & complete rolls of that regt for 78 are in this office. Neither the name of the claim nor that of any one named by him are borne thereon except Lt. Lindsay who did not belong to Lee's company as alleged but to Capt. H. andridge's. The same proof of service as in the case of Edw. Evans is indispensable to a favorable decision.
Mr. Livingston's enquiry as to a claim for bounty land cannot be answered until the claim is offered should be presented to the Bureau by Land Office.
