Mrs. Florence E. Youngs Beachwood New Jersey
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of Lieutenant Robert Hooper, of Pennsylvania, who, you state, is reported in Heitman's Historical Register as having retired July 1, 1778, and you request to know what the word "retired" means in this connection.
The records of this office show that Warrant No.1034, for two hundred acres of bounty land was issued May 27, 1791, on account of the service of Robert Hooper, lieutenant, Pennsylvania Line, War of the Revolution.
This office has no further information in regard to this officer, because of the destruction of papers in such early claims when the War Office was burned in November, 1800.
In order to obtain information in regard to the location of the land cited above, you should address The Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish that official the number of the warrant, the acreage and the date of issuance of said warrant.
The word "retired", used by Heitman, refers to the date the officer left the service.
Very truly yours
A. D. MILLER Executive Assistant to the Administrator.
