4 Journal and Correspondence

Liber C C

No. 22

Regiment writes the 14th Inst. " Capt Lieut Benjamin Price, from
"the Resignation of Capt Wright, who resigned the first of July
" 79. is entitled to a full Captaincy and Lieut John Gassaway from
" the same Date, entitled to Capt Lieut and Ensign William Wool-
" ford with the Rank of second Lieut entitled to a first Lieutenancy
" from the Resignation of Lieut. John Read, who resigned 11th Apt
" 1779." be pleased to issue the Commissions accordingly. Col. Wool-
ford also in another Letter recommends Mr Zedekiah Moore as
Ensign in the second Maryland Regiment; we approve & appoint
him. General Gist has recommended Thomas Boyd Son of Abraham
for an Ensigncy in the second Maryland Regiment, we approve and
appoint him and request his Commission to issue. General Small-
wood mentions that Edmond Compton has acted for some Time by
Brevet as Ensign in the first Maryland Regiment, we approve and
appoint him an Ensign in that Regiment and request he may be
commissioned. We are apprehensive the only Way to settle the
Rank in these new Appointments will be to leave it to the Officers
of the Division or with the General commanding it and we wish it
to be so if it can be done with Propriety.
