Summary
Reporting that, since "conversing with you this morning," Edward thinks the "best way of employing ... my protegé," is as "Quarter Master to the battalion of embodyed Detachments of Militia"; crediting his "abilities in the Company line, and as an accountant", which would resolve "confusion in their returns, both for working money and for Rations."
