Deposition by doctor Tenney, signed as "Sam. Tenny", describing the duties of an officer in relation to Mr. Pratt's arrest. Writes, "[A] commanding officer of a company having the temporary command of a battalion or garrison had no right or pretence, on that account, to divest himself of his proper command & to impose his duty on a subordinate officer." Mr. Wheaton, supposedly broke this rule in ordering Mr. Pratt to take over Wheaton's command, though Wheaton repeatedly denies this. Mentions that Baron Steuben hopes the dispute might be settled peacefully. Watermarked.
