Extract of a letter from a general officer, dated camp,
Middle Brook, June 13, 1777.  For fear I should not have an
opportunity of writing you after to day, for some time to
come, and knowing your anxiety for our safety and success,
have sit down in order to tell you what is on the carpet, .
. . [38 lines]  Lose no time in completing your
deficiencies.  We have sent number of officers on the
recruiting service; find them men by some means or other. 
Business in the fighting way accumulates; the drum sounds to
arms;  adieu.
