Sir
I forward herewith further proof to  substain 
that the claim of Emanuel Perady to the benefit of 
the Act of Congress papered March 18th 1818. To obtain 
this proof, it has been necessary to find to a gentleman 
in Rhode Island where the 2bd Lieut & Gunner of the 
Sloop Argo were discovered & whose deposition 
are here forwarded duly attested under the seal 
of the District Court, and the hand of the Judge 
Perady is miserably poor & unable to 
earn a morsel of bread for his family, by his 
hard labor, and I do hope that the documents 
herewith forwarded, with long time within 
the rules of evidence prescribed in such cases

Capt Perady desires that the pension cer-
tificate may in sent directly to me. If 
any further documents are required, if it 
be possible, at this distant period since the 
performance of the service, to discover the 
witnesses, no time shall be lost in endea
voring to find them. 
Very respectfully 
I am Sir, Your ob Serv
