Commissioner of Pensions:-
On July 29 I wrote to the Pension Office for the record of certain men, in the Revolution and War of 1812, to be used for genealogical purposes. Aug. 5 a request was written at the office, for more perfect data by which to identify the men, and this was sent to me with my letter inclosed. After this - but I am unable to give date - I wrote again, giving more particulars, but have received no return. Perhaps I should have returned the Pension Office letter when I wrote again. I will inclose both papers, and also a re-statement of what I wish, hoping to receive the information. Address.
Miss F. Amelia Clarke. 113 Gazelle St., Syracuse, N. Y.

The record of the following is requested.

The Hon. Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:- I am desirous of securing some information in regard to an ancestor of mine who served in the War of the Revolution viz:- James Bartholomew, who served as private in Wilcox's Company of Colonel Jeduthan Baldwin's Regiment of Artificers, Continental troops Revolutionary War, He enlisted Feb. 15th, 1778, I thought possibly the soldier might have applied ✓ for or drawn a pension at one time, and from that I might be able to find the date of his birth and also the date of his death, as the pension would naturally cease at the time of his death, and the place where he last resided. I would also like to know whether or not his widow or any of his children or dependants have ever applied for pension, if so give the dates of the birth of said applicants,
I would also like to know from what state the Soldier enlisted, and when he was discharged and for what reason was he discharged, whether for disability or end of service and any other information that you may be able to give me.
The information is desired by me for the purpose of joining the Daughters of the American Revolution. Trusting to hear from you Soon.
Yours truly,
Miss E. A. Smith Lock Box 273, Whiting Iowa
