I certify that I have examined the claim of the administrator of Thomas Chandler, deceased, and I find that under the act of July 5. 1832 half-pay was allowed for his service as a Lieutenant in the State Navy of Virginia from the 3 d of September 1783. Half-pay is now claimed from the first of January 1782, and I am of the opinion that the claim should be allowed. I therefore certify that half-pay is still due for said Chandler's service at the rate of one hundred and eighty two dollars and fifty cents per annum from the first of January 1782, to September 3 d 1783, and that the amount is payable to the Honorable Thomas H. Brayly, of Virginia, attorney of John B. Ailworth, administrator of said Chandler.

Sir
Yours of the 14 & 15 inst, were duly received, and would have been sooner answered but for a great press of business.
The name of Robert Young cannot be found on any of the army rolls.
The name of Lieut: Thomas Chandler is found in the arrangement of the Navy which was made in 1781. We have no evidence that I can find how long he continued in service afterwards. The arrangement appears to have been before the council in May 1781 & there is opposite to his name this remark or note "since dead" — When the note was made or by whom does not appear.
Very respectfully
Yours
J. B. Heath
