Revolutionary War-dated muster roll, one page, both sides, 12.5 x 8, dated July 24, 1778, headed at the top, “Return of the 1st Massachusetts Regiment of Foot Commanded by Col.o John Bailey.” Roll lists the disposition of the eight companies of the 1st Massachusetts Regiment, John Bailey commanding. Demarcated are the various types of officers, with 19 subcategories. In addition to the “Rank & File,” who are categorized by: “Present fit for duty,” “Sick Present,” “Sick Absent,” “On Command,” and “On Furlough.” The total present & fit force numbered 204 of 346 men enlisted, with 294 men “Wanting.” In all the regiment was at less than but 60% of full strength, not an uncommon situation. Eleven absent officers are individually named, with their reasons and locations. It is noted that Second Lieutenant [Simeon] Lord [of Berwick, ME] is on command at “Valley Forge.” In very good condition, with overall toning, mounting remnants to bottom of reverse edge, and chips to edges.
