To the Honorable, The Commissioner of Pensions, Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir;
I wish you would do me the great favor of informing me if Abraham Dale, who served in Capt. Henry Faultleroy's Co. Co. 5th Va. Reg. Com. by Col. Josiah Parker, and enlisted for one year, on Feb. 12, 1778; trans. in Nov. to Lieut. Col. Gaskin's Co. 3d. Va. Reg. Cmd. by Col. Wm Heth, discharged Feb. 28, 1779, was placed on pension roll.
I particularly want what your record says about his being married, 1 st + 2 nd time, name of wife  wife and children. We want to join S of R and D.A.R. but are lacking certain information, as to maiden name of his first wife who we are informed was XXXX a Fletcher, and that by her he had a daughter, Mary Kate Dale. Does your record show him married twice? / Does your record show two sets of children or the one child Mary Kate Dale by his first wife whose name we think Eva (Fletcher) Dale.
My great grandfather Abraham Riley married Mary Dale daughter of Abraham Dale, in Kentucky, but date of marriage we have not, but would suppose it to have been shortly after Rev. War. Would you answer-
 (1.) Does record show Abraham Dale married twice and if so does it give name of each wife, if so state them. He may have been married to Eva Fletcher at time of enlistment which should show.  (2) Does it give children, if so state names. 
Does it give his age at enlistment, if so state it.
(4) did he enlist from Va or Ky and if place known state it
(5) What place was he in Ky. he drew pension or where.
You can pencil after these queries if you please to do so. and give any other information which will be of help to identify him.
Thank you-Yours sincerely, Geo. W. Wright

Gentlemen:-
I am not sure whether I should write Bureau of Pensions re the following matter or to some other department. Information before me covering a similar case has come from your department.
I desire to become a member of the D. A. R. and require data re my great grandfather, Abraham Dale. My mother, Mary Dale, was the daughter of Weekly Dale and Weekly Dale was the son of Abraham Dale.
Weekly Dale moved from Kentucky to Missouri about 1827. I am not sure, but think Abraham Dale, my Great Grandfather, came from Virginia to Kentucky.
I am desirous of establishing his record as a soldier in the Revolutionary War and will appreciate any information you can give me or assist me in obtaining. Of course I shall expect to pay any research charges required and await your advice.
Very truly yours, Mrs. Susan D. McCallie 316 E. Franklin St., Liberty, Mo.

The record of Abraham Dale is furnished you herewith.
It may interest you to know that you may examine and collect data from Revolutionary War claims for pension, in accordance with office regulations, by calling at this office. This is the usual procedure in matters of extensive research.
The Revolutionary War pension records are located in Room 1851, Wing 8, Navy Building, 19th and Constitution Avenue, N. W. Every effort will be made to aid you in your research should you call.
