From Thomas Jefferson to Steuben, 11 February 1781

To Steuben

Richmond Feb. 11. 1781.

Sir

Having been informed about a week ago that the troops nearest to the enemy’s lines were much in want of ammunition waggons I have had two made ready, which are now sent to your orders. I think it was Genl. Lawson particularly who applied for these waggons.

I have the honour to be with much esteem & respect Sir Your most obedt. humble servt.,

Th: Jefferson

RC (PHi); addressed by TJ: “The honble. Majr. Genl. Baron Steuben or in his absence the Commanding officer at Cabbin point. with two covered waggons”; endorsed.
