I have recd your favr of the 22d ulto from Lancaster—As the reasons for which I directed Majr Fauntleroy to make an exchange of Corps with Major Bull no longer exist I have now ordered him to remain with you and Bull to join the 1st.

I have written both to the Congress and to the Board of War and used every Argument to induce a speedy completion of the Regiments of Cavalry—They will be more than ever useful now the active scene is, in a measure, transferred to the southward.

Be pleased to make Mrs Washingtons Compliments and mine to Mrs Moylan. I am &c.
