Madam:-
In response to your letter dated the sixteenth ultimo you are advised, that on a list of applicants for invalid pension returned by the District Court for the District of New York, submitted to the House of Representatives by the Secretary of War on April 25, 1794 and printed in the "American State Papers Class 9, Claims", page 94, appears the name of William Reynolds, resident of New Cornwall-----who volunteered as a Private, and was wounded and captured at the taking of Fort Montgomery, October 6, 1777.
The records of this Bureau show that William Reynolds, a Private in the Revolutionary Army, was an invalid pensioner at forty dollars per annum, but there is no further information concerning him, for the reason that there are no papers on file, the same having been destroyed in the burning of  when the War Office was burned.
Very respectfully,
J. M. [unclear] Commissioner.
