HAMILTON TO BARON STEUBEN.
Head-Quarters, Ramapo, June 30, 1780.
Agreeably to your request, my dear Baron, I communicated your project to the General. Happily the inactivity of the enemy has given us time to make dispositions which render the calling out of the militia unnecessary; and the whole has been accordingly countermanded.
The General requests that when you have completed the object of your errand in your department, and put things in train, you will rejoin the army.
I wrote you a line from Whippany, of which you made no mention.
I have the honor to be, yours,
A. H.
