Title
Expenses Incurred in the Pursuit of Deserters, Etc.
Description
Wadsworth encloses the muster and payroll of the recruits enlisted by him through May 1795. Since some of his men have been absent, it was not practical to include a complete receipt roll. Also included is the voucher for the bounty paid by Sergeant Clark to Joseph Burke and a bill of expenses incurred in pursuit of deserters.
