Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
Some time ago I wrote your office requesting copies of the pension records of Daniel Canfield who served in the American Revolution and of his wife who applied for a pension as his widow.
Daniel Canfield enlisted as a private from Dutchess Co. N.Y. in March 1776 in the 4th Regiment under Col. Clinton and Capt. Rosencrantz. He applied for a pension from Randolph Co., Va. April 2, 1825. It was granted August 26, 1828.
His wife, Elizabeth Canfield, applied for a pension as his widow May 17, 1843. It was granted. She was living in Jennings Co. Indiana at the time her application was made.
If you have not as yet complied with my request I will appreciate it very much if I may have these records as I have need of them now. I should have them before I leave New Haven which is going to be in a very few days.
Very sincerely yours R. H. Canfield.

Dear Sir:
Will you please send me a copy of the pension record of Daniel Canfield who enlisted in March 1776 as a private in the 4th Regiment of the line under Col. Clinton and Capt. Rosecrantz.
He applied for a pension on April 2, 1825, from Randolph County, Va. His claim was allowed. He died in 1832 at Crawford County, Ohio, I think.
His wife Elizabeth applied for a pension as his widow from Jennings County, Indiana. Her claim was allowed. Would like to have a copy of her pension record also.
Very sincerely yours,
R. H. Canfield R. H. Canfield.
