ALS, one page both sides, 8 x 10, February 19, 1838. Letter to Dr. Joseph Kincaid of Tennessee. In part: “I have received the memorial of James Kincaid, addressed to the Governor and Council of Virginia, transmitted to me, as I presume by you, or by your direction. Though no letter accompanies it, I take it for granted, that this is the application for Bounty Lands, in consideration of the Revolutionary Services of your father and uncle…I have submitted the memorial to the examination of the Commissioner of the General Land affair here, and I have received from him the answers, which I enclose to you. I have this day transmitted the memorial to the Governor of Virginia, with a request that he will cause an immediate examination and decision to be made…Congress will unquestionably make an additional appropriation of land…issued on ‘all warrants granted for Revolutionary Military services issued by the State of Virginia.’” The letter has been removably archivally sleeved in acid free Mylar. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through the first letter of signature, and a small circular area of toning from a previous seal.
