I am satisfied that the plan of returning the Wings of Mary Co & Jersey Divisions of troops from their respective places of first Rendezvous will be well executed under the direction of Messrs Blunt Gate Yarrington &c because they are experienced in the arrangements for moveing them hither in September. But the business of the Pennsd Division was done by Genl Millens, & Col Biddle & who are not here at this time. Their sub agents & details are not known to me. Wherefore I have the honor to request of you. 1st A note of the numbers in each sub division of the Penns troops, with the places to wch they are to be marched for discharging, & the Officers commanding the sub divisions. 2dly The places at wch you conceive any kind of provision should be made. 3dly The particular kinds of Supplies & aid, & the quantities of each, to be provided at each place, such as rations, forage, Waggons &c. Any ideas of your own for my government & information will be highly acceptable.
With gt respect I am
