Board Of Admiralty, In-Letters

In letters, January-July 1828
11 January 1828

George Glasson, Devonport. Certificate that William Edye has been repeatedly under my care for the last three years labouring under stomach problems, which with the slightest exposure to cold or unusual exertion of body or mind, he has been incapable of attending to his duty with any degree of comfort. Last December he had a sudden vomiting of blood and I opine he is totally unfit.
2 June 1828
James Thompson, Cook of the Agincourt at Plymouth, has asked for superannuation and the Surgeon has confirmed that due to chronic rheumatism and other causes, he is unfit for duty. Are sending a certificate of his time in service and recommend he is superannuated.
