Yours of the 16th I reced by Mr. Billings and Considering ye Service and ods in the Gentlemens age believe the Exchange is well and the young Man recommended bids Fare to do well. I have this Day wrote his Excellency & Sent him an abstrackt of my Journal but Omitted one Material thing which perhaps is Better to be Communicated to you then Even to the Govr as you may have Blank Commissions and his Excellency at a Great Distance to the Pointe Jira Willis (Son of Colo Willis my Frind) an Ensign in Capt Speakmans Company has behaved So Ill on Divers accounts that a General Court Martial Must have been his Fortune but obtained Favor to resign and I am Espeacly Directed by the Govr to Give the First Vacansey to Doctr Tyler as your Honr will See by the within order and if agreable and in your Power it will be for the Good of the Service as well as a Benefit to the Gent that his Commission Comes out as Soon as May be. News I Expect you will have from Every Quarter and I have no Great Nack at that part of Duty.
