Main text To the King! In most humble compliance with Your Majesty’s supreme resolution of the 30th of July, 1816, it is hereby reported: The officers, employed on St. Croix and belonging to the citizen’s militia, who, in the future should be appointed, are: The Militia Commander, Lieutenant Colonel v. Krause, The Vice Militia Commander, Captain Jeremiah Smith Cavalry Captain at the King’s Guard Squadron, H. Carden Cavalry Captain at the Prince’s Guard Squadron, Isaac Marhoe Heiliger Captain at Christiansted’s Citizen’s Company, James Todd Captain at the Buff Company in Frederiksted, Thomas Smith Captain at St. Croix Volunteers, Johan Ludvig Heitmann Captain at The King’s Quarter Company, Peter Marhoe Captain at The Queen’s Quarter Company, Wm.

Codwise The Colonial Adjutants at the Govenor General are 3 at present: Cornelius Kortright, Christian Krause, Hans Christian Knudsen. Among all of these officers, only the Militia Commander, Lieutenant Colonel v. Krause also holds a commission in the Army.  For the Vice Militia Commander, Jeremiah Smith, I most humbly consider the rank of Major as suitable.- Among the others mentioned, the squadron chief Hans Garden and the captains Todd and Smith are especially deserving of Your Majesty’s grace on account of the order and training in which their respective units are held.- The Prince’s Squadron, likewise, is in very good condition, this, however may be ascribable to first lieutenant of same, Joseph Buhsby, as cavalry captain Heiliger has been away for some considerable time, however, as Heiliger is a wealthy and respected man known to run things with enthusiasm and also even uses his own fortune to make something of the unit, I most humbly recommend him for Your Majesty’s supreme approbation.- The volunteer unit, which calls itself the real Danish Unit and which ought to be an example to the others, is in such poor discipline that I cannot presume blameless the company commander, who, for months, has been absent, but as I do not see any one more capable than him among the unit’s officers,
