Interesting manuscript document, 1p. legal folio, Boston, [n.d.], titled: "New manner of forming a company in order of Battalion as practiced by the Independent companies in Boston". This manuscript describes in great detail every movement of officers and non-coms in assembling and reviewing a company, including the drawing of swords, salutes, drum rolls, and dismissal. The writer has also included a diagram showing eight sets of footprints indicating the relative positions of the captain, lieutenants, sergeants, etc. during the proceedings. Light dampstains, else very good.
