Writes, "The bearer hereof has in charge one William Campbell, who came to camp as a recruit for the Mass Line. He offered to enlist with the recruiting party [for] this State but was refused by Captain [Andrew] Moodie who has [reported] him to me. As I cannot learn that he is appropriated to any particular service, I send him to you, as Head of the Line for which he was recruited." Written and signed in the hand of Samuel Shaw.
