Mrs. Louis P. Rausch The Oakland Hotel Marysville, Ohio,
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of August 26, 1930, requesting the record of General Richard Butler and of John Dodson, War of the Revolution.
You are advised that on January 22, 1930, you were furnished the history of the former and also that of the only John Dodson found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
Because of the very large number of requests similar to yours and the lack of a clerical force available for the purpose, the record of a soldier of that war is furnished only once to each inquirer.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.
John Dodson - S 2518.

Mrs. Louis P. Rausch The Oakland Hotel Marysville Ohio.
Dear Madam:
I advise you that this Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution unless a claim for pension or bounty land has been made to the United States on account of his services.
The records fail to show such a claim on file on account of the services of Charles Bernhart, (or similar spelling) of any soldier surnamed Greeno, or a Jacob Greenough.
On August 9, 1929 you were furnished the history of the only soldier named Jacob Try, or similar spelling, that is found of the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.
* * * * *
From the records of this Bureau it appears that Warrant Number 188 for fiftyhundred acres of bounty land was issued May 5, 1789, on account of the services of Richard Butler, Colonel in the Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
There are no further data on file as to his services, and none whatever as to family, due to the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned in November 1800.
