To the Court of Pensions Washington City Sir
Some years since I contracted with Mr. Sol. C. Boyley of Louisa County Va., who is the Administrator of Rice Bullock, who was a Lieut in the Illinois service, to investigate his claims for his Revolutionary services.
The claims were laid before your office, and I shall be much obliged to you, to have me informed whether they have been acted on & if so what was done. If the claims have been allowed, I will thank you to inform me what was the amount when allowed, & to whom paid very resptly
J. M. Mosby
P.S. I beg to refer you to Mr. Richd. M. Rae of your office, in reference to who I am & etc.

Richmond 9 August 1832
Sir
Your letter of the 12 th inst was duly received, giving a copy of a paper in reference to the service of Rev. Bullock, which I suppose to be the voucher in support of one of the payments appearing on the register of Certificates issued by the Auditors, under the act of January Session of 1780, to officers and soldiers of the line, which is -
Bullock Rev. Asst. D ty M r Quarters July 8 1780 9-11-0 The executive allowance was for service from 25 June to 8 th December 1780 5 Mths 113 days at 35 per M th , which would be,    5 Mths @ 200/  1000      113 days 1/3 mo.  70.      3 days 3/4 mo.  21  1000.  $ 37-1-0    Cr. 2 houses    27-10-0       Balance 9-11-0  
I have found nothing in the line's office, after a tedious search, and the examination of a great many vouchers, which would serve as a guide to the Executive allowance, but last night, consulted the journals of the old Congress; if you will refer to the proceedings of Saturday July 15. 1780, respecting the pay of certain officers you will find the following "Deputy Quarter Master, thirty-five dollars per month in addition to his pay in the line" this perhaps, controlled the allowance by the Executive, and accounts for the pay being run through the war Dept in the original paper -
I am Very respectfully
