Sir,

Inclosed is a copy of a letter to Captn. Leonard. You best know from the previous situation, what to direct in regard to supplies. Albany is a point from which his subsequent motions can be conveniently regulated as circumstances may require.

Inclosed is also the Copy of a General Order in relation to the sentence of the Court Martial which tried Captain Vance—

You will likewise find herewith a plan for the division of Virginia into Districts and sub-districts. You have not decided on the plan heretofore sent for the like divisions of the States from Connecticut to Delaware inclusively.

I request your decision as well on that as on the plan now sent, in order that the commanding Officer of Regiments may be instructed accordingly.

With great respect I have the honor to be Sir Your obed Servt.

A Hamilton
