[Council to Dames.]
To Captain Dames
Sir.
Sergeant Barns of your Company having suggested to this
Board that his private Concerns will suffer very considerably
by his continuing longer in your Company, more especially as
the Company is now on their march to the Northward. We
therefore think that the Public service will not suffer by
Sergeant Barns' leaving your Company, therefore you are
directed to give him a discharge.
2d September 1776.
