To James Madison from Bolling Hall and Lewis Condict, 18 April 1814
From Bolling Hall and Lewis Condict
House of Representatives U.S.
Apr. 18th, 1814.
Sir:
The faithful and meritorious services of Captain Joseph Wheaton, Assist. D. Q. M. General, in the opinion of the undersigned, entitle him to a compensation more adequate to the maintenance of himself and family; and we would therefore recommend him for promotion in that department, or some command in the line of the army: for which his revolutionary services have well qualified him to act.1 Respectfully &c.
Boling Hall
Lewis Conduit.
