First line:
I, the undernamed George Swettenham, lieutenant of the ninth regiment of foot, in the service of his Brittanic Majesty, the comander of the Fort St. Mark, in the Apalachian mountains, do hereby certify that, on the information of a savage, who had reported his having met with a dead body on a strand about forty miles from hence; and having strong reason to think a ship had been wrecked on that coast ... I detached four soldiers, with my interpreter, under the command Mr. Wright, ensign of that same corps, to visit that coast and succour all that he might meet with in any distress.
