A document describing a meeting in New Gloucester, Massachusetts of one sergeant and fourteen privates from Captain Foxcraft's company. Appears to be a copy written by a clerk. On the back of the document there are three mathmatical equations that appear to be unrelated to the text of the document. The top right corner of the document is torn and there appears to be slight text loss.

Foxcraft, Joseph E., fl. 1783-1808
