There is one other consideration which seem to be nearly Run Hall Down, by many both on sea & on shore, which I wish you not totally to loose sight of - I mean the True principles of Religion, the practice of which will of course come into use, and I hope be as your Sheet Anchor when your Bark seems to ride hard amid the Storms and conflicts of the troubled sea of a tempestuous world — I dont wish to hint that are Totally destitute of Impressions of the Pious altho the appearance seems to be Small - an I can say thus much in their favor generally That I think I never knew one of them who was the Character of a Hypocrite, therefore hope they will escape the heavy denunciations against that enormous vice, of appearing to profess what they dont practice. Indeed I once knew a seaman 'a rare one' — a Captain Hudson of the Orpheus Frigate, who made it a rule to punish all even the Smallest Deviation, (and as carefully to reward all Salt Water Virtues) in the extreme, he always put Man or Boy under the Boatswains Mates Notice who swore or spoke Rashly and while under punishment the said Captain always gave them an excellent Lecture on the use & abuse of Speech — I once heard one of his Sailors, a Irish Man after he had got a Dozen for swearing — Whisper as he went forward a Round Dath that he believ'd he had got onboard a Church — But to drop the subject —

Sir,
I have been intrusted with the case of Mrs. Jane Wiley, of Kennebec Square Penn t . a pensioner under the act of 1836. as the widow of Thomas Wiley at the rate of $259. 55 per annum.
Mr. B. H. Wiley has shown me your letter to him of the 10 th of April last, wherein you state that Thomas Wiley was an assistant commissary of stores from the 2 nd Sept. 1777. to the 15 th April 1779. But no proof adduced that he performed service as a Lieut t in the Penn t . militia you further add and propose, If Mrs Wiley will accept a Lieut t pension, it will be granted, When the acceptance was made, she was not apprized of the amount of pension to which a Lieut t was entitled to receive, and is now much dissatisfied with the allowance.
There appears a manifest irregularity in the apportionment of the amount of pension in this case. and not in accordance with the rule of your office. As it is conceded that Thomas Wiley was an assistant commissary of stores, his widow is therefore entitled to a pension at the rate of 50¢ per month, and not to be calculated at a Lieut t of Infantry pay.

I have respectfully to ask, that the case be re-examined and adjusted. The application is enclosed.
I am very respectfully
