From George Washington to Major General Arthur St. Clair, 2 February 1780

To Major General Arthur St. Clair

Head Quarters Morris Town 2d Feby 1780

Dear Sir

The two Connecticut Brigades march this morning.1 I think you had best detain all the Men of that line, who are already down, who are cloathed and in other respects fit for duty—The others may be sent up under Officers to do Camp duty. I am &c.

Df, in Tench Tilghman’s writing, DLC:GW; Varick transcript, DLC:GW.
