Commissioner of Pensions. Pension Bureau. War Department Washington D.C.
Sir:
I am requested by two ladies, descendants of Jonathan Boardman, of Haddam, Conn., to ask you for a copy of his pension record. They desire to use it in obtaining membership in the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. They have not asked for records before, and authorize me to ask for them. I am advised by the Adjutant General of Connecticut that Jonathan Boardman, was a prisoner from Conn. 1818, residing in New York.
I am Registrar of my chapter of the D.A.R. and am constantly called upon to assist applicants for membership in securing proof of service, etc. They do not know how nor where to apply and seek my help. I have therefore appealed to you many times in the last twenty-five years. For information for others, I trust I may not be considered as violating any vital law or ruling of your office in making such appeals.
Very respectfully yours.
(Mrs) Helen Fye Rupp, Registrar Mildred Warner Washington Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution
Miss Sarah D. Gibson. Regent.
