Duplicate of GLC02437.02174. Discusses orders for officers to hand in returns in a timely manner concerning the number of Officers ... and privates who will remain in service from the different corps at this post ... Explains the return was created before all of the officers choosing to remain in service were accounted for, and since there were more officers who chose to stay than were expected, he needs to issue a new return. Had asked the officers to decide among themselves who would remain since I do not think that I can with propriety derange any officer without his consent. If Capt. [Winthrop] Sergeant can agree with any one of the Captains to exchange[,] I will with pleasure make a new return. Noted as a copy and includes a return on the verso, listing the men by name and rank. Signed in a secretarial hand by Captain Henry Burbeck.

Writes, I mentioned to his Excellency General Washington, that it might be well to send some persons to the State of Vermont after [desertion], and he is pleased to approve of it. I have not the least doubt but the persons who deserted from your guard are gone to that place, as one of them owns a small farm there which he purchased last summer, previous to his being apprehended as a deserter, with an intention, that this [step] might prevent his being at all apprehended. If you should approve the sending some persons, I will do it immediately.
