S’r, I have rec’d your Letter by Capt. Livingston. The Detachm’t intended for the frontiers of Ulster are to proceed to Kingston. Colo. Graham’s Regt. will furnish 50 so that no more are to be sent than with them will make up 100. I am anxious that those for Albany be dispatched as soon as possible, and it is my wish that a Part of those already on the ground be sent there as their appearance on the Frontier will give Confidence to the Inhabitants. Field’s & Ludington’s Levies are intended for West Chester. Call in all the absent Officers immediately. Capts. Marshall & Whelp who belong to Willet’s Regt. ought to join & take Charge of the Detachm’t intended for Albany.
