Sir
I herewith forward the Documents in
the case of Thomas Jordan. 
 (returned from you
unfortunately) with the further evidence required
In the case of Seth Partridge returned as a Deserter
permit me to state that he admits the fact (hether
to concealed from me) & relies upon his future services
of the pardon of his offences. The belief that
his name will appear on your rolls as having
served subsequent to his desertion has induced the
return of his papers for further Examination
He states the Desertion to have been in 1779. From
his affidavit it appears that he enlisted 3 times of services
until after the Peace-
-
In the addition to the 4 Cases in which the
Documents have been returned to me there were
two others forwarded by me Ward of Fuller's not noticed in Mr. Boyds
circular of the 18th Just
Respectfully
