Informs Hobart that he is returning documents related to a memorial petition requesting a military land bounty for Stephen Raymond, the heir to Revolutionary War veteran Solomon Raymond. Explains why the claim was dismissed: it was invalidated by evidence showing Raymond deserted in 1778. Also comments on other contradictions in the evidence.
