Sir.
I have a paper from the Pension Office - dated July 24 th 1832, written by J. L. Edwards - saying that the papers relating to the evidence of the services of Daniel Patchen in the war were placed on file and that copies

of them would be furnished when required. I should very much like a copy of these papers. As I wish to know if Daniel Patten (who was my father's father's father -) received a pension, and what it was for. My mother's grandfather John Punderson received a pension. Please let me know what it will cost to prove this.

Also to whom I should write to find if another great great grandfather Bill York, was a soldier.
Very respectfully yours
Lydia M. Patchen.
