Description
Reminds the Governor that he called on him the preceding winter to remonstrate against the appointment of Jellis A. Fonda as first major in the militia regiment commanded by Col. John Mynders; the Governor then explained that the appointment was a mistake, arising from the similarity of names, and promised to have it rectified; he again applies for redress; his first commission as captain was dated Oct. 20, 1775; his second, Aug. 4, 1778: he was appointed second major Oct. 3, 1788, and at the time of last appointment Jellis A. Fonda held no commission in the regiment.
