Physical Description
L. S., Wm. Masters, Lynford Lardner, John Mifflin, Jos: Fox, Jos. Galloway, Jon Hughes. Endorsed. 1 page. Fo
Description
They have considered his letter as to raising a company for the frontiers of York during harvest; it is not in the power of the Commissioners to pay more men than the law directs, therefore the only way to relieve the frontiers would be to send some of the troops already raised or to be raised; however, if the battalions are defective, there would be no objection to raising such a company, provided the total number of provincials does not exceed 1,400 men.
