Help deciphering a War of 1812 Pension record?

Question

This image is alleged to be some kind of pension record for Moses Fitch (Jr) who served in the War of 1812.   It seems to be a record of a query from an F.J. Frisbie (I have no idea who this person is) about Moses Fitch, with the notation "In the record of the above named man".  What throws me is that it's stamped with the date 1897, long after my Moses and his wife passed away, so I can't think of any reason anyone would be inquiring about his pension.  Is the stamp something that might have been added later?  As part of some kind of historical cataloging effort?

Answer 1

Beginning in the 1890s, the War Department created the Compiled Military Service Record (CMSR) to document the military service of Volunteer soldiers. Transcribed from original muster and pay rolls, regimental returns, descriptive books, hospital rolls, and other records, the CMSRs were intended to permit more rapid and efficient checking of military and medical records in connection with claims for pensions and other veterans’ benefits.

The War Department initially created CMSRs for Union veterans of the Civil War and later expanded the records to include state Volunteers from other conflicts. As a result, the National Archives now holds CMSRs for Volunteer soldiers from the Revolutionary War through the Philippine Insurrection. Link to NARA
