Campbell, Sir Archibald (of Inverneill), orderly book:

Manuscript “Orders for the 2^d. Battⁿ. of the 71^st.  Reg^t. on its Embarcation for North America, April 25^th 1776” (orderly book for men on the ship George,under the command of Sir Archibald Campbell).  In 1898, Charles Hosmer Walcott wrote (in his Sir Archibald Campbell of Inverneill, Sometime Prisoner of War in the Jail at Concord, Massachusetts, p. 11) about this manuscript: “This interesting relic was recently discovered in an attic and contains sixteen closely written pages of orders, etc., including a ‘quarter bill,’ assigning to the men on the ‘George’ transport their respective positions in case of action, and the rolls of the first, second, and third watches on the same vessel.  Only a small portion of the book was actually used for the purpose for which it was intended.  It became the spoil of war, and passed into the possession of Edward Heywood, a cooper, who turned the book end for end and wrote on the inside of the cover: ‘EDW^d Heywood, his Book, September ye 28, 1778.’  The entries by him show that it was used as an ordinary book of accounts down to 1809.”  Gift of Benjamin Derby.  (This manuscript may have been conveyed to the CFPL prior to the major deposit/gift by the CAS in the 1970s.)
