Concerning Records of Officers at Court Martial, & the Appointment of Southern Officers

Responds to Adams' inquiry about the commission status of the officers comprising the court-martial of Richard Hunt -- McHenry believes that at least some of them are from the new regiments and thus without commissions, but cannot confirm this, as he sent Adams the only record of the court-martial proceedings. McHenry assures Adams that he has the files (lists of appointments, letters sent to the appointees, and received letters of acceptance) to establish all those officers as legal, even if formal commissions are never issued. Notes receipt of recommended officer lists from General Pinckney concerning the Carolinas and Georgia, and forwards them to Adams for approval.
