Dear Sir,
In an auction which I held yesterday to your favor of the 3 rd inst. I stated that I could not find Young's name in Wheelerights' company, but found it in Francis' company. On turning to the "Officers' books" I found that Francis' company had been commanded by Wheelerights till May 28 th 78 when he died , & the command devolved on Francis.
I do not know that this information is of any consequence, but have thought it might possibly be of some use in Young's case.
Very respectfully
