To John H. Buell, 15 January 1800

New York Jany. 15. 1800

Sir:

I am informed by Colonel Graves that a drummer Prince Ferdinand Hall a drummer in Captain Woodward’s company has resigned delivered himself up to Captain Bissel as a deserter from the Western army. It will be necessary to have him tried.

I shall therefore give orders for a Court Martial to sit at Bennington for the trial of this person and of such other Offenders as may be brought before it.

Major Bewell—
