Dear Sir

The records of the late Maryland are so dispersed and many of them lost that I find it impractible to give you more of the history of Capt Wm Beatty services then that he must have left this service (by death or otherwise which I have not the means of ascertaining) some time in 1781 because his pay [illegible] has been paid in piece settlement certificates bearing interest paid Jan 1782  - a proof that is serving ceased sometime in the year preceding .

Yours respectfully
