Rendez at Springfield 3^d Sep. 1795 Sir, In my Muster rolls for May and June I believe you will find Samuel Lee's inlistment dated April 6^th and June 6^th in those of July and August — The latter are accurate — The misdate was occasioned by my recruiting Srjeants having dated the inlistment (by accident as he relates) on the 6^th April — Henry Starks is a deserter from Lieut. David Males detachment of Artillery — I apprehended him, seventeen days since, in Stafford, a back town in Connecticut. He is now under confinement of my barrack guard — What shall I do with him? When Ensign Rand marched took among his papers the Rules and Articles of War, consequently I have been since destitute — I am Sir, very respectfully your Obedient Servant William Eaton William Simmons Esquire — [The two last words of this Letter to be erased from the [undecipherable]] [Endorsed: Sept 3 1795 / from Cap^t [undecipherable] / Answered [undecipherable] 9. 95] William Simmons Esquire Accountant War Department
