War Office 9 Jany 1792 [1:00] [57:00] Sir I have rec'd your letter of the 24^th of Dec^r ults. If Cap^t Mitchel has not yet left Pittsburgh it will rest with you as it did before this letter to [strikethrough: exchange] give him Cap^t Brace's station and to permit Cap Brace to accompany the little Turtle to Philad. It is not expected that any of the officers of the detachment destined for the Mississippi are to be indulged with furloughs unless you can supply their places in a manner satisfactory to yourself.
