Sir

On friday next you will move from your Quarters (wherever they may be) with your whole Corps, at such time & manner, as to be at the White Plains positively between sunset & dark—your Men will require provisions for saturday & may be perfectly light.

I send you the Paroles & Cr Signs untill the 29th inclusive—you will keep them sacredly to yourself, except when they are to be delivered to the Officers entitled to them, on the several days they are designed for. I am Sir &c.
