| − | I received | + | I received your favor of 25th September and 10th October last, together with sundry papers respecting the depreciation of the pay of the Delaware of the pay amounts of the Delaware regiment, and immediately laid down before the General Assembly of this state, then in session: but the blank being near a close nothing conclusive was determined on them. |

| + | As I was principally concerned in making a settlement of the depreciation amounts, no two other gentlemen were in the appointment, I feel myself under obligation to justify them, as far as truth will support me. | ||

| + | The minister rolls came into our hands in a very imperfect state line many were missing, having as the officers alleged, then captured at the battle of Camden. From the documents furnished we've formed a list of the regiment as perfect as we could. This new submitted to the officers, who, on some business of their own, were assembled at Dover. They made notes on our list, distinguishing those who were entitled from those who were not, and particularly noting deserters. Some who had been returned as deserters afterwards joined the regiment and were pardoned. This list I have still in my possession, and have referred to it, in order to furnish and answer to your remarks. Patrick | ||
