To the Commissioner of Pensions - Washington D.C. -
Dear Sir - Can you give me any information concerning a John R. Wiley who I think was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. I do not remember but think he enlisted from New Jersey - or possibly Pennsylvania - and I think was living in Virginia when he received a pension -
Any information you can give me will be very gratefully received - and whatever expense connected with the research I will be very glad to remit.
Very Respectfully Mrs M. E. Wheat.

To the Pension Bureau. Mr. Dett. Washington. D.C.
Dear Sir - About a month ago I thanked you for information concerning documentary evidence of Henry Wiley a soldier in the war of 1812. He was my Grandfather. enlisted in Kentucky. fought through the war and died on his way home after the war was over. I think somewhere in Illinois. He received as a pension for his services a section of land in Illinois which sometime in the fifties my mother and Grandmother sold for several dollars. The City of Macomb now stands on the ground. I remember

The incident although I was a very small child. I am anxious to join the organization known as the Daughters of 1812 - but have to have documentary evidence that I am entitled to become a member.
Upon my former letter miscarried hence I write again hoping I shall have better success. Any information regarding affair - I am willing to meet.
Yours sincerely from your loving son -
Very Respectfully -
Mrs Martha E. Bennett
