Re on. P. P. Waldo, Sir:
Some years since, my husband, Henson Day, made application to be pensioned, which application was suspended or rejected. At the time the application was made he was residing in Hardeman county, Tennessee. I wish you to examine the papers filed in your office, and inform my Attorney, Geo. W. Talbot, of Spring Creek, Madison county, Tenn., the cause of said suspension or rejection.
Yours, &c.

Hon. J. B. Reynolds,
H. R.
Sir:
The claim of Hanson Day to a pension on account of revolutionary service, has been examined. He states that he served in a regiment commanded by Col. Stark of the Virginia line. No Colo. of that name belonged to the Virginia line of continental troops. As the law of the 18th of March, 1818, under which Mr. Day claims, provides for those only who served on the continental establishment, his claim cannot be allowed. His declaration will remain on the files of this Office, agreeably to our regulations.

Hon. A. R. Alexander,
H. Rep's.
Sir:
In answer to your letter of the 22d ultimo enclosing the application of Henson Day to a Pension, on account of revolutionary services, I have to inform you, that there is no evidence in this Office to show that Colonel Stark, under whom Mr. Day states to have served, was a continental officer, neither does the name of Henson Day appear on the Muster Roll of any of the continental troops. The claim is therefore, rejected. The papers will remain on the files of this Office, agreeably to the Regulations of this Department.
