Dear Sir: Last July, through the courtesy of your Department I obtained, for genealogical purposes, the military history of my great-grandfather James Burt.
I now write to ask if you will be so kind as to furnish me, for a like purpose, the military record of another great-grandfather of mine, Samuel Ketchum of Warwick, Orange Co. N. Y., who

was also a soldier in the time of the Revolution, and who was, I have been told, in the battle of White Plains. but I am not familiar with any other details in connection with his service.
If there is a charge for the clerical work involved in ob- taining this record for me I shall be glad to meet it. In case he was not a pensioner will you kindly inform me whether there is any other source from which I might obtain the desired information on Government authority?
Very truly yours
(Miss) Elizabeth Burt.
