Sir It will probably be recollected that I called at
the Pension office with my Brother M. J. J. Wilson of
the Senate about two weeks before Congress adjourned
to give some explanitions respecting the applications of
der themine & Wm M. July (herewith enclosed) for
Pensions-- I then stated as I do now that I have not the
least doubt but that both are really entitled to the
Pension - that is that there is no fraud or deception in
their case-- that they both were Revolutionary soldiers
and are very poor. when this statement encouragement
was given that certificates would probably be issued if
their applications were again forwarded to the officeit
will be perceived that in E. Kernines case their
is a Certificate in his favor from Col A. Ogden late
Governor of this State. M. Feeley having been enlisted
and Discharged in Pennsylvania, and bury to have
and infirm to go there for Testimony will probably
never be able to produce any more than he now
does now forward their applications to the
office for reconsideration and hope for their sakes that
their
case may be found entitled to relief of certificates
are Issued I suppose they will be forwarded to me
at this place-
I am most respectfully Yr Friend
John Wilson
