Sir
Mr I herewith return the letter of Peter Kremer and Wm. H. Beddingen relative to the case of William Burks of Virginia and have to state that the records in this office do not show that any papers in support of his claim have been received here.
A pension was allowed to a person of the name of William Burks of Culpeper Co. Va, under act March 18, 1818, in June 1819. I presume he is not the person to whom allusion is made in Mr Kremer's letter.
