U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Pensions, Washington Gentlemen -
Kindly send me all data concerning Daniel McCarty of Montgomery Co. Ky. who was in the Va. Militia reco during the Revolution and received a pension Nov. 20, 1833. Also look for a Daniel McCarty of Maryland who was in the Revolution. I do not know that he had a pension. Very truly Yours.

Hon. H. Daniel, N. P.
Sir: I have made an examination of the case of Daniel McCarty, and I find that the reduction of his pension from $6.40 per month to $6.00 was made agreeably to the act of the 3 d of March 1819. The Surgeon who examined him stated under oath that he was three fourths disabled. The pensioner, therefore, could be entitled to only $6.00 per month. This Department can afford no relief in the case, unless he thinks that his disability is greater than three fourths. If he should claim an increase of his pension, he must produce the necessary evidence. The enclosed printed sheet will show what is wanting.
