class of gentle young men
lay in my cloths last night
strength of his constitution is beyond every calculation
summon'd to attend his departure
south part of the town
suppose one of them only will go forward with an expectation of your joining him in the representation
if you cannot attend this business or its your opinion that the mutiny will not be attended to I wish you to inform me in your next
afraid some of the old Continental Officers are about bringing us into a difficulty
applied to twice, one a field officer & the other a captain
invited to assemble
make good our pay

rec'd your favor
by the post last evening
sorry to hear
disappointment in his application for a bankrupt act
