[John Lewis P.] Imhoff and [William] Heatley are out recruiting; expects Capt. [John] Purvis with his company; the first certain account he had of Capt. [Ezekiel] Polk's disobedience was from Major Mason [James Mayson], whose letter he delivered to [William Henry] Drayton on the arrival of the latter in the [Provincial] Congress; had he been consulted by the officer who wrote to [John Lewis] Gervais it would have been in his power to write facts; he has taken away the commissions from some of the captains in his regiment of foot who were disaffected; asks for blank commissions; Capt. Wise is in North Carolina, his men came with Lieut. [John] Donaldson; asks leave to come to town to sell his crops."}
