Madam:
In response to your letter of the 9 th ultimo, you are advised that in the report of the Secretary of War in relation to the Pension Establishment of the United States which was printed in 1875: on the list of invalid pensioners who had received pensions at Philadelphia, Penn., Agency and whose residence could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of papers in the War Office in 1800 and 1814, appears the name of Anthony Jackson, a private of the Revolutionary Army, pensioned from March 4, 1788, under the Act of June 7, 1785, at $40 per annum, he died February 24, 1804. On said list also appears the name of David Jackson, a private of the Revolutionary Army, pensioned from March 4, 1789, under the Act of June 7, 1785, at $48 per annum. There is no further data on file in regard to either of these pensioners as the papers in their claims were burned in the conflagrations that destroyed the War Office in the years above noted. The Revolutionary War records of this Bureau fail to afford information in regard to a David Jackson who died Mar. 4, 1789, as described in your letter.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner
