February 12, 1767 - Muster


York County.

AS many of my circular letters have miscarried, or not been delivered in time to the County Lieutenants, which puts it our of my power to attend the General Musters: I therefore take this method of requesting the favour of the Commanding Officers of the Middle District to appoint their General Musters on the following days, viz. . . .
Gloucester, Monday 23rd of March . . .
At which time they may depend on my waiting upon them, to discharge my duty.

ALEXANDER FINNIE, Ajutant.
