Dear Sir:-
That my daughter Myra H. Buck may become eligible to join a chapter or organization of D. A. R. I wish to establish from records on file in Washington, the fact that my mother's grandfather David Hannore or David Hanmer was a revolutionary soldier.
I will esteem it a great favor if you will assist me in establishing this fact.
If there was more than one David Hannore or David Hanmer in the service I wish the record of the one who was in the Sullivan expedition through where Elmira now stands, in the command of Col. Frederick Heussenfeldt. 4th brigade 4th New York Reg.
Very truly yours
J. L. Buck.
