N^o 49:- To Major Gen^l Knox, Sec^y of war Legion Ville 8. March 1793 Sir, I had the honor of addressing you on the 4^th instant by Col^o Procter: since that period, no material occurrence has intervened. — We anxiously wait for the list of Promotions and appointments in the Legion, which by a hint you have dropt is to undergo some alteration in its organization: I have therefore suspended for the present the completion of the settlement of the [underline: Relative Rank] began agreeably to the principles laid down by the General orders of the 26^th ultimo of which the enclos'd is a copy. — This is a business of the last consequence as being indispensibly necessary to discipline and due subordination — I have therefore to request your directions upon the subject the soonest possible in case any alteration or modification is really intended. — I have not been able to complete the General Return of the Legion by this post, — perhaps it may as well be postponed until the musters are completed, which are in forwardness. — I have the honor to be with esteem your most obed^t & very hum^d Serv^t Wayne The Hon^ble Maj. Gen^l Knox Sec^y of war.
