Sir,
In reply to your enquiry of the 29 th ultimo, you are informed that it does not appear by the records of this office that any allowance has been made in virtue of the services of William Thompson, other than those to which you refer. He was not entitled to land from the general government. In respect to any land claim he may have had information should be sought of the authorities of Virginia.

Sir
You will be so kind as to inform me whether since 1833 or 1832, there has been any pension money paid to William Thompson's heirs on account his military services in the war of the Revolution, if so, when, what amount & to whom? He left a widow Polly Thompson who married William Terry between 1798 & 1803. In 1832 or 1833 William Thompson's adm rs received from the State of Va about 5000$ & from the US about $382:52 I wish to know if anything was ever received by his adm rs or any of his heirs after that time & who received it. and if it appears in your office whether he was ever entitled to any land for military services, how much, whether it has ever been located or patented and when and where, and any other information in relation it that may appear from the documents of your office. If I knew what amount to send I would now remit your fees for making the examination If you should comply with my request, stating at the same time your charges I will then forthwith remit your fees. An early compliance is very important.
Very Respectfully Beverly Parkdale Jr
