New York 11 March 17 26. Dear Sir, Inclosed is a return of the Officers of the 8 Rg^t Inf^y who were arranged in June 1779 — I have searched the Muster in this Office as also the returns of that reg^t filed in the War Office, and cannot find any one record of the supernumerary Officers — Cap. Dak had better make application to Colonel Broadhead as I have not the least doubt, has a return of them — On a further examination of the rolls of the late 10^th Regiment I find that Cap. W^m Cox, Lieu^t Rob^t Harper, Adam Heller and James Tolbert, were drawn on the 1 July 1778. M^r Harper is charged with the sum of 266 Dollars received for the recruiting service in June 1777 from Cap. Shaw, which you will please to notice at the rate of exchange on settlement — The other Officers are not charged with any monies — The supernumerary pay has been for those Officers as appears by the several abstracts — W^m Wylly one the 2^d Reg^t was inhisted agreeable to Musters the 1^st July 1778 — Cap John Smecher will apply for the settlement — John Rea, 2 M^th the late 6^th who was exchanged the 25 October 1780, this Officer is Officer is supposed to have been taken with Major [undecipherable] at New Town, Bucks County. I find him mustered December 1777, the rolls for January 1778 I cannot find, and those for February take no notice of him
