Hon. John C. Daves,
214 Chamber of Commerce,
Baltimore, Md.

Dear Mr. Daves:- Since writing you on the 2nd, I have been
busy making investigations regarding the services in the
Rev. War of Capt. George Russell and Lieut. Isaac Lane, and
have this to report.

From the pension declaration of Agnes Lane, widow of
Aquilla Lane, (brother of Lieut. Isaac Lane) she states
that Aquilla Lane enlisted in Capt. Russell’s company in
1779, Colonel Christians regiment, and that he lived in
Orange County Va. when he enlisted.

I am sending this in hopes that the records of Col.
Christian might help to prove Continental services for
Capt. Russell and Lieut. Lane.

I was in Knoxville last week and hoped to see the lady who
has the Colonial Dames papers verified on the services of
Lieut. Wm. Hill of N.C., but she had an engagement and
could not see me, but promised to send me her papers just
as soon as she could get around to it.  They have not come
yet.

Have you been able to do any thing for my yet?  I am sorry
to bother you with this matter, but surely you must know
what an embarrassing situation I am in.  Is there not some
thing I can do for you, to repay you in a measure, for all
the kindnesses you have shown me?

With every kind thought and best wishes, I am,

Cordially yours,


CKH/K
