Dr Sir
I find by a letter this moment received from Vermont, that D. Leonard may not be able, without assistance to march his men, or rather to take the proper care of them on their march; and that the inhabitants are very anxious they should be removed. From your orders it is likely they may have been marched, yet I would think it proper that [strikethrough: the such Officers] you have [strikethrough: designated for the company should you have] appointed to take immediately proceed to join him [strikethrough: charge of the Company should proceed to meet D. Leonard]
with great regard you.
