Philadelphia, October 25th, 1782.

Sir,

I have received the letter your Excellency did me the honor to write me on the 10th instant, with the amount of expenses incurred by the expresses, which formed the communication with the Marquis de Vaudreuil. The treasurer of our army will pay to your Quarter Master General the five hundred and thirtyseven dollars he has been so kind as to advance for that purpose. I beg also, that you will please to send me the amount of expenses incurred in procuring the intelligence from New York, and that you will accept my thanks for the trouble you have had in these details.

I will be exceedingly obliged to your Excellency to inform me where the seventyfifth regiment of grenadiers actually is.

I have the honor to be, &c.

LUZERNE.

GEORGE WASHINGTON TO M. DE LUZERNE.

Head Quarters, October 25th, 1782.

Sir,
