___________________ [No. 1656] An Exempt Company Formed in the Western District of Claverack Claverack, Aug. 15, 1778 [Page 641] Sir, I do my self the honor of transmitting to your Excellency an Association, subscribed by the Exempts in the western part of the District of Claverack, within the Limits of the Eighth Regiment of Militia, commanded by Coll: Robert Van Rensselaer, as also a poll of an Election, by which I am elected Captain, Peter A. Fonda first, Abraham Vosburgh Second Lieutenant & Lawrence Coyne, Ensign. Altho' the number who have signed this association is not large, yet I conceive, a great difficulty would arise, should we be annexed to, or formed with any neighbouring Exempts into one Company, on account of the remote distance, we are from each other. Should your Excellency be inclined to form those Exempts into a Comany, I would be glad, the Commissions may issue to the officers, as soon as their appointments are compleated. I have the honor to be with the greatest respect, Your Excellency's most obt. humble Serv't Corn's S. Muller. [To Gov.
