Description
The committee business is almost at an end, and they have obtained everything possible for the army; he believes that no other state will give as much to its army by one-third; this is owing to the Chesterfieldian talents of the army's committee; depreciation will be allowed from the time when pay became due; the men on furlough have mostly gone back to camp; a party marched from here under Sergt. Mitchell; William Ross deserted; mentions several deserters who have come back; Capt. [Joseph] Fox and Sergts. Kent and Goddard are to remain here for recruiting; the want of clothing is a hindrance, as most of the men who now enlist do so to get clothes; he is going to Taunton to settle his private affairs; describes his perplexities during the winter as to recruiting and the depreciation business; other military and personal matters.
