Dear Sir:
Reference is made to your letter with which you enclosed fifteen cents to cover cost of photostatic copy of one page from Revolutionary War claim for pension of William Payne (S.8938½) and in which you request information in regard to records of any other soldiers with surname Payne of Virginia.
Your copy is being made and will be mailed soon.
Because of the very large number of requests for Revolutionary War data, and the limited clerical force available for furnishing such data, it has not been possible to make a series of investigations and reports pertaining to soldiers of that war, for one person or organization.
If you will give the full name of another soldier surnamed Payne in whom you are interested and as much as possible of the following data as a means of identification a search of the records will be made in your behalf: approximate dates of birth and death, place of residence at enlistment and after service and given name of widow.
Very truly yours,
