 RESOLVED that your humble servant, Major Jones to wit, formerly of the 23d Royal Welch Fusiliers now commanding the Provincial Brigade, is hereby ready and willing to resume his duties to Crown and Country by punishing the rebellion, eradicating the heathen, de-scenting the Frog and doing his utmost to avoid the Spaniard altogether. Be it further 
 
 RESOLVED that the good Major thanks all for their patience and esp. his most noble commanders for their part in carrying through with the specific MP games, and be it further
