notable phrase
Since my communication on the subject of the relative rank of my officers, I have become considerably acquainted with them
...from the knowledge I have yet obtained of the gentlemen I cannot fully recommend one for so important an office as that of Deputy Paymaster General
although I am not over <-> with religion yet I conceive it my duty to request that a sensible person may be appointed to officiate as Chaplain at Oxford
It will conduce to order and regularity if it were authorized
