Summary
Enclosing a Return that was given him by an officer "who says he is now the only officer left - the rest being all broke - my reason for troubling your Excellency with this matter is for fear these men may be forgot by the State as part of their Quota;" adding "Lieutenant Grier has been sent here by Baron Stuben from Richmond in Virginia - (where it seems he Commands at present) for Bayonets and other Military Stores."
