Agreeably to your orders of March 31. I have assigned three sub-districts of Pennsylvania to Col. Ogden’s Regt. I thought it proper for the convenience of Col. Ogden to fix upon those districts nearest N. Jersey, and therefore named those composed of the Counties of Berks, Northampton, Northumberland, Lycoming, & the County of Luzerne. But this appears to be too great a portion of Pennsylvania...

I had the honor of receiving your favor of the 29th. Ulto. inclosing papers respecting John Butler Soldier of Cap. Henry’s company 10th. Regt. which I find upon enquiry contain a false statement.
