Full Description:
Tonge to Clinton. Windsor, Nova Scotia. Refers to a memorial of a year agon in which he set forth his long services and the wishes of all the captains of the Loyal Nova Scotia Volunteers, that he might succeed Lieutenant Colonel Denson. Was informed that His Excellency had referred his pretensions to McLean who in answer had not yet received any orders on the subject. The officers have used their utmost exertions to recruit the Regiment. Refers to Monk's letter. Hopes his own supplication as an old solider will not be in vain. Robertson may recollect him when at the siege of Louisbourg [in 1758].
