[Private] Philadelphia 26^th May 1792 My dear Sir Having yesterday received General Brooks's non acceptance, I hoped at the same time to have received your acceptance, and that you was about to set out in pursuance of my private letter to you of the 3^d instant. In consequence of the conference with you, I have ventured to assure the President that you would certainly accept which affords him great Satisfaction. I pray you therefore if you should not have set off before you receive this that you will with all dispatch Upon your arrival here I shall have the pleasure to present you with a Brigadiers Commission to take rank from the 5^th day of March last— The relative rank to be determined by the relative rank of the late men. I am my dear Sir Yours Sincerely and affectionately [signature] Brig^r Gen^l Bull— [Docket: To Brig: Gen^l Bull / [undecipherable] / 26 May 1792]
