Col. Brickell’s Letter and return of his Reg., August 25th, 1781. Rec’d 30th. To be left at Capt. Kidd’s till the Governor return
His Excellency Gov. Burke, Halifax.
Sir:
Your Excellency signified you wanted a return of the Regiment
at this Camp. Inclosed you’ll Please to receive One. It is not as methodical as I could wish, tho’ it Contains the Strength it now is and has been, and the different departments. I should have waited on your Excellency before you left Town had I known you intended to have done so. I intend to leave Camp To-morrow, as the Present situation of the Regiment is by no means agreeable to my wishes. I shall expect to be out again as soon as my Circumstances will admit, or as soon as the other drafts are in the Field and Equipped.
