PARTIAL ROSTER OF OFFICERS UNDER WASHING TON, JULY, 1778.

[In the collection of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania is a folio

manuscript volume, "

Abstracts of Muster-Rolls," prepared by direction

of Deputy Muster-Master-General William Bradford, Jr., which contains

the names of the field-officers and officers commanding companies, with

the strength of each company and regiment. This valuable book, the

cover of which is largely composed of muster-rolls dated at Valley Forge,

gives the musters for the months of June, July, August, September, and

October of 1778 and January of 1779. We have copied the muster for

July of 1778, as it is in a more perfect condition than any of the others, and we have also retained the original spelling of the names of the

officers, preferring to make a verbatim copy.?Ed. Penna. Mag.]
