Dear Sir
Will you please look up the record of John Blackmore, who served in the Revolutionary War? I have his discharge papers, signed by George Washington, but there are some dates, lacking, to make me eligible to the D. A. R. S. He served in a Massachusetts Regiment, commanded by Col. Henry Jackson.

I will appreciate any knowledge of his service, or dates of enlistment, birth or death, that you may be able to furnish.
Sincerely yours Mrs.
