No Man could be more respected than Johnson, and consequently none more regretted We naturally grieve for such a loss. The Corps mourns for Johnson, but why should we be sorry, 'twas to that end the Al- mighty made us. Your son was called on in the prime of life, he knew not long sickness and died sensible. His Worth lives on Record in the Books of Regiment, a Consequence which Soldiers aspire to, and which good Conduct alone can merit. About six hours before his Death, your Son requested I would take charge of his Effects and transmit the amount to You. The account is an- nexed and inclosed is a Bill for the Sum. If at any future Period You should require further Particulars I shall be very happy to Prove the Regard I had for Johnson by attending to the wishes of his Parents. J.
