Balto County 1st July 1776.
Gentlemen.
With a grateful sense of your good opinion of me I beg
leave to resign the Commission of first Major, in Soldiers
Delight Battalion; since (having attended last Saturday) the
Battalion declare, that they will be commanded only by Officers
recommended by themselves.
