MS (DLC); 4 p.; entirely in TJ’s hand. These tabulations of officers and men of the several state regiments must have been compiled, at least in part, before the Advice of Council of this date (see above). The returns for the 1st and 2d state regiments and the state garrison regiment are the same in the Advice and the present tabulation. However, as was made clear by the letter of Adjutant Henry Vowles of 30 Jan. (which arrived in time to be transmitted by Muter to TJ on 6 Feb., q.v.), no return for the artillery regiment was available owing to the destruction of the regimental papers at the battle of Camden. But in that letter Vowles sent a list of the officers which, though now missing, was obviously used by TJ in compiling the above “Roll of the Officers of the Regiment of artillery”; on 12 Feb. Vowles wrote again to Muter, saying: “I received yours respecting the Officers &c. of Artillery and sent forward the Return the next Day by (as I thought) a very safe hand, which I expect you have received before this” (Vi).
1. “Regimt of artillery” struck out.
2. That is, supernumerary.
3. Perhaps “Machen.”
