Gentlemen
I am interested in obtaining the service record of one of my ancestors, a Nathaniel Clark who served from Alstead N.H. also from Walpole N.H. and wonder if you could help me.
His pension papers are on file with the N.H. Historical Society. Possibly this information is not enough for you to place him, but this is the extent of my knowledge of him.
Thanking you I am Yours very truly

May 20, 1904
Mr. E. S. Ware Dear Sir:
I have this day received the enclosed letter and slips. I suppose the letter was written by Miss Mary Hersy who applied to me for admission to the Daughters of the American Revolution.

But she did not give enough authority for her statements in regard to her ancestor Nathaniel Clark. She mentioned his having received a pension, and I wrote her for a copy of his pension papers. She mentions that he enlisted from Haverhill Mass. was in the 10 th Mass regiment Col. Benjamin Tupper Capt. Nehemiah Emerson. Was discharged December
23. 1783, and was at that time a corporal in the 1 st Mass. regiment. Residence at time of application for pension Pleiston N. H. date November 30, 1819. As she gave no authority but her own for the above, I could not accept her papers.
If you can furnish me with a copy of his pension record I would be greatly obliged. I am sorry she did not write in her own name, as she

might be able to give the number of claims, for which you ask.
Very truly yours
Caroline D. Kelly Registrar
42 Benefit Street Providence R.I.

PLEASE RETURN THIS LETTER.
Commissioner of Pensions Washington, D.C.
Will you kindly send a copy of the pension papers of Nathaniel Clark, Haverhill Mass to Miss Carolina D. Kelly Benefit St Providence R.I.

Dear Sir
Yours of July 31 st I have just rec d . having just returned from a circuit your Rec d be are at the War office. I received in Ap l last a letter from John Smith informing me that Clarke was entitled to military bounty land, and that you as his assignee are intitled to a warrant, &c. I requested Mr Granger to enquire of him on his return what is necessary to be done to get the warrant but I suppose he forgot it - but if I understood aright from his letter, an order from you would be necessary.
If you will send an order to me, request- ing the secretary at War, to deliver or send

To me the warrant you are intitled to as assignee of Clarke, I will forward it & get the warrant if that is sufficient, or you can write directly to the Secretary yourself & have it sent to you -
I am sincerely yours
James Kingsbury Esq. Calvin Pease
