Madam:
I have to advise you that from the records  papers of this Bureau, it appears that Samuel Reading was pensioned for his services as Major in the War of the Revolution, under Certificate No. 270, which issued August 3, 1829, at the rate of $600 per annum, under the Act of May 15, 1828, at which time he was a resident of Kentucky.
The claims under said Act were adjudicated in the Treasury Department, hence there are no papers on file in this Bureau, relative to said soldier.
