Plainview, Minnesota.
Dear Madam:
You are advised that in the report of the Secretary of War, printed in 1835, in regard to the pension establishment of the United States, the name of Richard Chamberlein appears on the list of invalid pensioners of Connecticut, but whose residence could not be ascertained because of the destruction of papers in his application for pension when the War Office was burned in 1800 or 1814.
He is reported on that list as a private and whose pension began March 4, 1789 under the Act of June 7, 1785.
There are no papers on file in this bureau in regard to this soldier in consequence of the destruction of papers as stated.
Very truly yours,
E. W. MORGAN, Acting Commissioner.
