Sir
Enclosed is a copy of a letter to Capt: [undecipherable]. You best know from the previous situation, what to direct in regard to supplies. Albany is a point from which his subsequent motions can be conveniently regulated as circum=stances may require.
Enclosed is also the body of a general order in relation to the sentence of the court martial in which tried Captain Vance. ——
You will likewise find herewith a plan for the division of Virginia into districts and sub districts. You have not decided on the plan heretofore sent — on the like divisions of the States from Connecticut to Delaware inclusively.
I request your decision as well on that as on the plan now sent, in order that the commanding Officer of Regiments may be instructed accordingly.
With great respect
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your obedient
J. McHen[ry]
