Your Letter dated the 24th of October miscarried—I did not receive it untill the 27th Inst.—as you will observe by the inclosed Letter from Genl Gist—I have now the Honour of embracing the earliest Opportunity by Capt. Howe of transmitting the Proceedings of the Society of the Cincinnati of this State.

I received Letters from General Heath and the Baron de Steuben on the Subject Matter of the Institution, which were communicated and the sense of all the Officers who were assembled here in July last taken—but the Meeting not having been so general as might have been wished it was thought most eligible (from the remote and distressed situation of the Officers, and the Expences which might accrue upon drawing them to a Point on that single Object) to suspend all further Process therein untill the 20th of November following, when we might also address the General Assembly upon the Subject of the Lands which have been pledged, the Redemption of our Depreciation Certificates, and Arrears of Pay &c. The meeting on the 20th Inst. was not so full as was expected, but Members have fallen in since and subscribed the Institution—a list of whom is inclosed. I have the Honor to be with the highest Regard Your Obedt Hble Sert
