My dear Sir:
I shall greatly appreciate your courtesy if you will send me the military records of two of my great great grandfathers who saw service in the Revolutionary War from Connecticut: Stephen Haskell , who served, I am told, in both Connecticut and Massachusetts. Drawer S 29,859; and John Day (widow Annis Day) who served in Connecticut, Drawer W 17,694. The drawers in which their pension applications are found I have copied from the Report of the N.S.D.A.R. to the Smithsonian Institution (66th Congress, Doc. 83. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1919)
In addition to the war service of these pensioners I shall be glad to learn of the wife's name or children's names, in both instances, if these are shown in the pension applications.
Thanking you for your courtesy in this matter, I remain
Yours very sincerely,
