Dear Sir,
I found in Zanesville mislaid me to enquire as to the "Claim of William James" who applied for a Land Warrant for Service in Mexico, the application was made in April 1855 and referred to the 3rd Auditor in April 1856; it is numbered 87.345." Please inform me what has become of it and if it will be passed upon.
Also please inform me of a "Pension Certificate No 17.183 in favor of Newman Landman of Virginia for services as a Dragoon during the Revolution and War signed by J. C. Calhoun Sec of War dated May 27. 1826. Registered in Book B. Volume 8, page 154 is worth anything.
Very Respectfully
