AD, DLC:GW. Internal evidence makes it clear that GW drew up this document after his return to Fort Loudoun from Mount Vernon on or shortly after 1 October and before he received Dinwiddie’s letter of 19 Oct. on 24 Oct. 1757.

1In a few instances slightly different dates of rank are given in other contemporary documents.
