Clerical copy of an excerpt of a Townshend letter dated 6 March 1777. Townshend was Master General of the Board of Ordinance in England. Written to Carleton, the British General and Governor of Canada. Postmarked from Portman Square, in Westminster, England. Says the two cadets were not yet provided for, so he placed them in the "late augmentation" of artillery, so they would not lose their regimental rank by being abroad. Leaves it up to Carleton to place them. Also says there are not sufficient cadets qualified enough to serve abroad and has not sent any out.
