Sir,
The papers in support of the claims of John Kraftsler and Henry Hart have been examined and placed on our files. It appears from the evidence exhibited, that they belonged to the boat service, and were also under the command of Colonels Yates and Hay. These Officers did not command continental regiments. As the act of March 18. 1818, under which they claim, extends to none who did not serve in a military capacity, and on the continental establishment, and as the service performed by them is not embraced by said acts, a pension cannot be granted in either case.
I have the honor to be Yrs.
