My dear Mr. Morgan:
Will you please send me a copy of papers filed in regard to land only all spell- warrants issued to Benjamin Hoomes (his name should have been spelled Holmes ) prior to Dec 31 - 1784 - for Revolutionary service.
Will you please, also send me a copy of data and record of his pension = H. J. Eckenrode, who compiled a record of Va. Rev. Soldiers - makes mention of a report from Sect. of War - in regard to this pension and mentions Vol. 2 - Washington - 1835 - This name may be on your file as Hoomes, in stead of Holmes as all books mention the two ways of spelling. I am inclosing a copy of his record mentioned in three separate Record-Books. Can you tell me where I might get some data as to his service on the Committee of Safety?
Thanking you sincerely - and hoping I will hear from you soon - Respectfully yours — 1885 Shadow Lawns. (Mrs. C. H. Uelshane —

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Benjamin Holmes of Virginia, a captain, War of the Revolution, a pensioner.
In the report of the Secretary of War in relation to the pension establishment of the United States printed in 1835, the name Benjamin Holmes appears on a list of invalid pensioners, who have been in receipt of pensions at the Agency of Virginia, and whose residence could not be ascertained, because of the destruction of papers in such claims when the War Office was burned.
This list shows that Benjamin Holmes was a captain in the Revolutionary War and was pensioned from September 4, 1789, under the Act of June 7, 1785.
There are no further data in this claim, relative to this man in consequence of the burning of papers as stated above.
Very truly yours
