June 6th, 1810 Letter A
Hamilton 6 June 1810
Sir,
I take the liberty of saying and I hope without giving offense that John Peters Esquire late Sheriff of the District of
Newcastle has been a Major in the militia in the Midland District and is an officer upon half pay; he would take the command of the Northumberland militia should it please his Excellency to appoint him.
And I also take the liberty to state that should his Excellency be pleased to appoint M. Peters commander of the
Northumberland militia it would give general satisfaction.
I have the Honour to be Sir, Your most obedient humble servant,
Elias Jones, Major Militia
To the Honourable Eaneas Shaw Adjutant General Militia
