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 |
