Honorable J. Mitchell Chase, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Chase:
In response to your letter of May 6, 1929, with one, herewith returned, from Mrs. Amanda L. Schwem of 116 Fairview Avenue, DuBois, Pennsylvania, I have the honor to advise you that from the records of this bureau it lt appears that Warrant No. 1985 for four hundred acres of bounty land was issued August 23, 1790 on account of the service of Caleb Sweet, Surgeon in the New York Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file relative to his service and none whatever in regard to his family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.
