Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letters in which you request photostatic copies of papers on file in Revolutionary War pension claim based upon service of Enoch Leathers, of New Hampshire and later of Piscataquis County, Maine.
The record has been found of one Enoch Leathers of New Hampshire, who lived later in Penobscot County, Maine. This is perhaps the soldier in whom you are interested. The papers in his claim for pension, S. 37618, are very frail, indeed. The process of making photostatic copies requires extra handling and is necessarily more or less injurious to them. All papers in that claim for pension have been examined very carefully and all data found pertaining to service, residences, family, etc., have been incorporated in a report herewith. These official reports have been accepted by various historical, patriotic and genealogical societies as authentic and it is hoped will prove to be just what you need in your research.

re: Photostatic Copies of Papers - S. 37618
Enoch Leathers.
BA-I/MNHF-MLB.
With further reference to the request for photostatic copies of papers on file in your department relative to Rev. and 1812 War service of Enoch Leathers - I am satisfied beyond any doubt that this file concerns one great-great grandfather of mine.
For several years, I have been assembling original papers or photostatic copies of originals of the earlier members of our families, including material as far back as King Philips War in the case of our Plummer line. Mr. Rosafy several years ago provided a choice bit for Col. Edmund Plummer of the Revolutionary War. At present I have acquired the photostats for each of five great-great grandfathers who served in the Revolution, the pension papers of two grandfathers of the Civil War - and various papers of my own husband who died in France April 1918 while serving in the World War.
Since the arrival of your letter of August 24, 1936, with the proper consideration for your statement as to the condition of the Enoch Leathers file I set about a search for possibly other material which might serve my aim - with no success. (I did locate a printed magazine photograph of the old gentleman taken about the age of 90). So far as I am able to ascertain - the only record of writing - personal history of him-existing is the pension paper.
With these facts in mind - will you kindly give this your personal attention and if possible and in your opinion warranted permit a negative of the papers to be made and furnished me at my expense - under proper supervision of your department. Positive photostats can be made from a negative for the other members of the family. Very truly yours, Eleanor Patch (Mrs. Eric C. Patch)

Sometime ago I requested a copy of the pension papers, or information relative thereto, filed by the soldier Enoch Leathers, who served in the Revolutionary and 1812 Wars. The War Department advised me that the man did have service in these wars and referred me again to your office.
At the present time I have had no reply to my earlier letter to your office. I appreciate the fact that there will be a charge for a photostat copy of these papers which I am willing, of course, to pay when and if advised as to the amount. An early reply will be appreciated.
