notable item/thing
it being expected that a number of troops will soon be raised
requested me to mention to you his son
who wishes to enter the service
I observed to him that the very many officers of the late army would have a kind of claim
there would be scarcely a chance for him
should there be he is a tall young man of fine form and having a propriety for the profession of arms
do honor to it
we hope for the pleasure of seeing you here
best respects
