Physical Description
A. L. S. 2 pp. Fo
Description
Reports his recent arrival in camp after a disagreeable journey from the bad weather; came by way of Wilmington; the rank of the line is still unsettled, but a board of officers will be held which it is hoped will determine it; if not, many officers will resign, for they cannot serve a set of men who refuse them common justice, when they are giving up all for the good of their country; prices are so high, they cannot maintain themselves; cloth and trimming for a coat cost £125 in Philadelphia; the pay of the soldiers remains the same; Mr. Cock has sold his plantation for £1000 more than it cost him, and goes back to Maryland; has not yet been to Pluckimin.
