Initial comments

Did I say the next 1-3 days? I meant next 10-20 minutes. Only two quibbles I see. As previously, I made minor copyedits as I went; please double-check and feel free to revert.

• "In September 1780 he played a minor role in the flight of traitor Benedict Arnold" -- this sentence confused me at first, in that I thought Eustis might have been some sort of conspirator. Perhaps it would be better to just say, "In September 1780, following the flight of traitor Benedict Arnold, Eustis treated ..." Clarified Magic♪piano 14:20, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
• "Massachusetts General Court " -- it would be helpful to clarify that this is a legislative body rather than a judicial one. Perhaps you could just say "elected to the Massachusetts state legislature"? Clarified Magic♪piano 14:20, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Checklist

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	Two minor suggestions noted above, but these don't interfere with overall clarity.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	File:William Eustis.jpg should have a US public domain tag added. Done Magic♪piano 14:20, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

	7. Overall assessment.	Pass
