Mrs. Huldah P. De Long, No. 85 Rutland Street, Watertown, New York.
Madam:-
In response to your letter dated January 20, 1906 and received January 20, 1906, you are advised that the papers in the above noted claim, show that on February 17, 185 4 4 , George Hills, sixty-three years of age and a resident of Hebron, Washington Co., New York, applied for pension due his father Nathan Hills, deceased, who it was alleged served in the 10 th th Regt. of the Connecticut line, through the Revolutionary War. The claim was rejected on the ground that the application was irregular and defective.
A careful search of the records of this Bureau fails to show that a claim was filed on account of the Revolutionary War service of any Nathan Hills of Connecticut, other than the above.
Very respectfully,
Commissioner.

Dear Sirs.
I am enclosing War Record of Nathan Hills who served in Revolutionary War, It was sent to me by Adjutant General of Hartford Conn.
I wish to learn if he or others rec. a pension from the government.

If so will you please give me any dates you may have. What I want most to know is the date of his birth or death or both where he was born & if possible his wives name.
Can you tell me where he enlisted? that I may write to custodian of Town Records for any necessary information you may not be able to give.
It is family tradition that he died of small pox  in the army before his term expired, his being paid for but one year after he was promoted Colonel would indicate his death at that time, I am very anxious to get this record as it is a matter of importance.
Yours Truly Mrs. Huldah P. DeLong 85 Rutland St. (over)

If you can not help me please refer the matter to "War Department" (Records) & oblige
