Sir:
Recently, while reviewing & making researches in the history of my family I had occasion to consult the book "List of Revolutionary Soldiers of Virginia" which was a "Supplementary Report for Virginia State Library" Department of Archives & History 1911."
In it I found the names of certain of my ancestors, I was referred to the Secretary's of War Report of 1835 on Pensions of Revolutionary Soldiers.
These names, which I found in it, are the ones which interested me:
NUCUM, Julius (Sec of War Report 1835)
Pension Book # 3 Tennessee 39,
Entered on Pension Rolls
of War Dept June 3, 1819. Served in Virginia Continental Line).

NUCOM, Julius (4th Virginia Regt.) War Department 91.1.
NUCOM, Solomon (Sec of War Report 1835. Pension Book # 3 Tennessee 37. Pension allowed June 18, 1829. Served in Virginia Continental Line).
Have you the Pension records + papers of these Revolutionary Soldiers in your office?
If so, could I see them and copy the contents of the papers?
or would you furnish me with a certified account of the records, containing full information? I would want:
Full names of each,
whether married or not, and, if so, names of wives and children of each,
Dates of birth + death,
where born,
where died
Service record of each when in Revolutionary army.

and any other vital information.
Should you not care to make such copies, I would be very willing to copy the records, if given permission to do so.
Sincerely yours,
Norman Meeum

Please advise me if any other persons by the same Surnames as these, are listed in your records.

In closed I send you the claim of John gle which was returned for further evidence at this time being unable to procure the evidence persons who were cognoscent of his services, I send evidence taken for his benefit some years ago in applying for a pension as an invalid from the officers it satisfactorily appears that his declaration is supported - but if it should be deemed important I suppose he could at this day find Mr Range who deposed therein if transmitted it - he says he may be mistaken as to date, but is very certain that his name will be found as stated By last mail I received eight pension certificates - and several certificates rejected which I had made out - and as I believe all that I made out except Very truly Joshua Pierce, - Nathaniel Asbourn, & William Chandly - from which I have had no intelligence except as respects Pierce, which from a letter from your office it seems was not recorded - but which I am well assured was enclosed and sent on if not to be found I would be glad to know so as to make out the same again
I now send as that of Julius Nucum Very respectfully your obed t servant
I am Sir W B Blair
