Sir
I this Day had the satisfaction to receive your favour of the 23 d Inst., enclosing Bounty Land Warrant, Issued No. 1773, Issued to the heirs, and Devisees of Barney Ogden, Dec d , who was a Lieutenant in the New Jersey line in the Revolutionary Army, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged.
In relation to the difficulty existing in the claim of the heirs of Edward Wiley Dec d , I have to state, that from the personal acquaintance which had allways subsisted between Col t Phillip Van Courtland and the said Wiley, which continued untill his decease, I am led to believe that all impediments can be removed, which are in the way of an adjustment of the claim of the heirs of said Wiley. It may be explanatory for me to observe that the aforesaid heirs inform me that their usual way of spelling their name is Wildey.
Very respectfully I remain Your Ob t Servant
Hon ble
