Hon J. R. Poinsett Sir
I Enclose to you the papers of Mary Wilson Widow of William Wilson Applicant for a Pension Under the act of July 7, 1838 Her Husband William Wilson was a pensioner under the act of June 7 1832. But did not receive a full pension. I am not fully acquainted with his Service in the war of the Revolution. But understood By a man that was in the same Service with him that William Wilson Served one year in Capt Williams Cummings Company Col Taylor Regt in the Waggon Department. This Service was done 1779 and in 1782 he Served Eight or nine months in the New York Levies on the Western frontiers under Capt Westfall Col Weisenfelt Regt. If Mr Wilson has not been Benefited in his Application By this Service you will be so good as to Refer to your Rolls. And if his Name is found that the Widow may Receive the Benefit
Respectfully yours
