  Madam:
  
    In response to your letter of the 17th instant, you are advised that 
  on April 19, 1923, you were furnished the history of the Revolutionary War 
  pension claim Widow File 2894, of Jane and Aaron Wright.
  
    The diary of said soldier referred to by you, is not on file in this 
  Bureau.  Said book is quoted on pages 17 and 27, of volume 10, of the Second 
  Series of the Pennsylvania Archives, which was published in 1880, and on said 
  page 27 the reference indicates that the diary was published in the New York 
  Historical Magazine of 1862.  This would make it appear that the diary was 
  withdrawn from the files of the Bureau prior to 1862, and it is not0 know where 
  it is at present, or what was the mannner of its withdrawal.
  
                    Very 
  respectfully, __________ Commissioner
