Dear Sir
Middeley Vermont
Dec. 25, 1843
Andrew Whitley of Hardwick in this State,
drew a pension of $240 a year under the act of
1818 up to the time of death in July 1836 or rather
until the March previous. His widow Rubie
Whitley has drawn the pension from March to July
1836. Subsequent to his death the widow applied
for and received a pension under the act of
1838, at the rate of $240 a year, the rate of which
her husband died under the act of 1818
Sometime last winter she received a letter
from a Mr. Addison of Washington, informing her
that her husband was entitled, from 1831 to the
time of his death, to $320, under the act of
1832, instead of the $240 which he had
drawn under the act of 1818; and that she
was, therefore, entitled to the difference during
that time, and also to the same difference
during the time for which she had drawn
under the act of 1838, and that he would
obtain these arrears for 20 percent of the
amount obtained. She applied to an attorney,
Page 43

by the name of Bliss N. Davis, for advice in
the matter, who said he thought she had
better give Addison the 20 percent; and that he
Davis would act as her agent here for a nounable
confirmation. He accordingly made out her papers,
and had obtained the arrears due her under the
act of 1838, as well as a certificate for the
current year under the act of the 3rd of March
last. The certificate for the arrears due her
husband from 1831, to the time of his decease,
being at the rate of $80 a year, she has not received
And now comes the object of my writing
this letter, which I do at her request
Davis, in addition to a claim of
25 percent on account of his services, claims
to return 20 per cent on account of Addison's
services. Now what I want to know is, whether
Addison has performed any services in the
obtaining of any of these arrearages, and if
so what services. My impression is, and so I
have advised her, that Addison has had nothing
to do with the matter only in the giving to her
the information that she was entitled to arrears
but that Davis has sent the papers directly to you
Page 44

You see what information I want. Will
you do the widow the favor to give it to me
as soon as practicable
I am moreon, requested by Mrs Wheatley
to request that if the certificate for the arrears
from 1831 to the time of her husbands death
has not been sent to M. Davis, it may be
sent directly to her address at South Hardwick, Vermont. He is evidently disposed to
extort from her a very unnomnable amount
for his own services under the 20
per cent which he claims to return as
pretended confirmation to 
Addison &
I hope the former which the provision of the
last mentioned certificate would give him
to enforce the rightious claim may be withhelden from him
Very respectfully,

Sir
Pension Office
Novr 5th 1851.
The decision of this office in the
case of Rubie Wheatley widow of Andrew claiming an increase of pension
as Quarter Master, is clearly right
The claimant has been allowed for
some time past at the rate of $320 per annum which has always been regarded
as the full pension of a Quarter Master of
Regiment. On referring to the records
in in this office, I find that Andrew Wheat[y was appointed Quarter Master of Col
Durkee's Regiment of the Connecticut Line
on the 7 of January 1777. He was not an
officer of the line and consequently is only
entitled to a pension as a Regimental Quarter Master. If he had been in the line he would
have been entitled to a pension equal to his
pay in the line and his additional pay as Quarter Master, The increase should not be allowed

relating to the case of Rubie Wheatley,

appeals. His letter relates to another case
and is retained till that shall be disposed of
The only question in the case
is as to the pay properly due to a Quarter Master, the rank which her husband
held in the Revolutionary Army. I know of no law which would authorize
ing of such an officer more than
be due to a Lieutenant.
A regiment Quarter Master, if not taken from the line, received during the revolution the pay of
a Lieutenant, and this is what has
been allowed in this case. He held no commission in the line.
Had he been a

allowed to an officer of the regimental
