FOR COPYING RECORDS OF
 REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS Connecticut D. A. R. Wants Appropria-
 tion from the Legislature.

The committee on pension records of the Connecticut Daughters of the Revolution met at the capitol at Hart ford Thursday and decided to ask the legislature for an appropriation to cover the cost of copying the records of soldiers in the Revolutionary war from the government records in Washington, the completed records to be filed in the state library. Mrs. J. Laidlaw Buel of Litchhe1d, regent of the Connecticut chapter, presided.
 The recently found personal deScrip- tions of Nathan Hale, which were buried for decades in the archives of the pension office in Washington, will be used as an illustration of the need for this appropriation by the Connec- ticut legislature. The amount of the appropriation to be asked for has not been announced.
 In recent years there has been g revival of interest in Revolutionary history and Revolutionary characters Copies of the documents in the pension office at Washington would supply missing links in these tales concerning the daily life of early New England people.
 The committee on pnesion records includes among others Mrs. George M Miner of Waterford. Mrs. Bryan F Mahan of New London and Mrs. Fran. ces T. Maxwell of Rockville.
