BUREAU OF PENSIONS,
P. O. Box
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12, 1895.
Sir:
In returning herewith your communication of June 28th, you are advised that the rules of this Bureau prohibit the furnishing of copies of the pension papers of Revolutionary soldiers. As a courtesy short statements of the services of one or two such soldiers are often furnished to applicants who desire the same to complete family history or to use as evidence of eligibility to membership in any of the Revolutionary societies, but to furnish copies of the papers would seriously interfere with the regular work of the Bureau and it has been found necessary, therefore, to establish a rule declining to do so.
If you desire information upon any particular point relative to your ancestor's military or family history his pension papers will be carefully examined and the information, if a matter of record therein, will be cheerfully supplied you.
Very respectfully,
Acting Commissioner.
Mr. Joseph T. Hall, c/o Raftery & Co., 67 Front St., New York, N. Y.
