Madam:
In reply to your letter of the 18" instant, you are advised that Henry Crook of Washington County, Virginia, was pensioned for disability at the rate of $40 per annum from Sept. 4, 1789 under the Act of June 7, 1785, which was increased to $64 per annum under the Act of April 24, 1816, and he died March 18, 1819. The details of his service, nature of his disability and names of his family are not matters of record owing to the destruction of papers when the British burned Washington in 1814 and it was not required that further evidence be furnished the War Department when such pensions were increased under the Act of April 24, 1816.
Very respectfully,
J. M. [unclear] Commissioner.
Office note.
I did not state that this data was obtained from the printed list of 1835; as she had quoted that data and knew about it.
The Act of Apr 24, 1816, was automatic and the State Commissioners attended to it, not the Government at Washington see last clause of the Act.
Don't know the letter again modify it to suit inquiry.
