Sir

Enclosed is a Copy of the Registers agreeably to the
Numbers you left with me for Certificates issued by Mr.
Pierce to sundries of the N Jersey Line, not included in those
transmitted from this Office some time since - I have
great reason to beleive that those noted in the eighth Co-
lumn. "Transferred to the Jersey Brigade" were of the Line
of New Jersey, as Col. Spencers Reg. to whom those Men
belong were chiefly raised in that State. and those remarks
made by the Agent who settled the Accounts who I presume
must have had a knowledge of their being actually trans=
ferred. this however may be ascertained by a reference to the
Registers in your possession ~ The Registers from No. 58,517
to 58,579 inclusive are mislaid, the amount issued is menti-
=oned in the 7th Column & as they were a part of Commuta-
=tion, I expect you will not need them for the present,
The Certificates for Commutation are mentioned in
the 8 Column. Jos. Howell Jun.
