Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:—
Referring to the enclosed correspondence, which is self-explanatory, will you kindly advise me whether you have any records in your depart-

ment from which you could tell me the birth and death dates of William Stewart, War of American Revolution, and James Stewart, War of 1812. If you have such record, please look into same and give me this information, if it is possible to be obtained. It is necessary in order to obtain membership in Daughters of the American Revolution.
If any fee is required for this work, please send me through Louisiana National Bank or State Sav. & Trust Co. here, to save time. A new chapter D.A.R. is being organized in Leesburg, Ark., and I would be glad to get my papers there as quickly as is possible.
I will appreciate your

early attention. Please return enclosures . * See below. (Her letter to War Dept.) (and their reply.)
Very truly yours -
Mrs. George R. Eaton.
1023 Hickey Street.
* In her letter to the War Dept., she de- scribed James Stewart as an Ensign, Capt. John Wallace's co., Pa.; therefore, negative slip is so described. J.W.

Rev. War Section.

Mrs. George R. Eaton, 1533 Hickory Street, Texarkana, Arkansas.
Madam:
In response to your letter of the thirteenth instant, you are advised that Warrant No. 2114, for two hundred acres of bounty land, was issued on account of the services of William Stewart , as a Lieutenant in Colonel Hazen's regiment, in the Revolutionary War .
There are no papers on file relative to said claim, the same having been destroyed when the War Office was burned in 1800.
The pension records of the War of 1812 fail to afford any information in regard to James Stewart who served as an Ensign, Captain Wallace's company, Pennsylvania Militia.
Very respectfully,
G. M. Saltzgeber Commissioner.
