[Tho's Jackson] [undecipherable] Sir I have received your favor of the [undecipherable] Instant. At the time the War office was destroy'd by fire all the Records relative to the Military Bounty Lands were also destroyed. From the present situation of the business it is not probable that the Issue of Land Warrants will shortly recommence, under those Circumstances I cannot inform you whether Captain Jackson have been returned or entitled to Land, or whether the Warrant had actually been Issued I am &c.
