Mr. James B. Laux,

New York City.
Sir:
In response to your letter dated the 7 th and received the 9 th instant, you are advised that in the Report from the Secretary of War, in relation to the Pension Establishment of the United States, which was printed in 1835; on the list of invalid pensioners who had been in receipt of pensions at the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Agency, and whose residence could not be ascertained in consequence of the destruction of the papers in the War Office, in 1801 and 1814; appears the name of William Congleton, a Private in the Revolutionary Army, pensioned at $40. per annum from March 4, 1789, under the Act of June 7, 1785.
There are no papers on file relative to said pension, nor any further data than the above.
The destruction referred to was due to fire, the last, being when the British burned Washington in 1814.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.
