Full Description:
Lord Amherst to Germain. Whitehall. Does not find any Captain Andre of the 54th, there is one of the 26th who has been captain twenty months, and a Mr Lewis Andre of the 44th. Cannot say that either of these come under his description to merit the King's approbation as an old captain, and though the rank in the Adjutant or Quarter Master General's department does not go by seniority in the army yet, some regard is supposed to be had to an officer's time of service.
