Inclosed is a letter to Major Posey, which I must request you will forward to him.1 It is unsealed, & you will find that I have directed him to repair to this place, & join his Regt where his services are much wanted. As withdrawing the Major from the Corps2 may render it less serviceable than it has been, I could wish you if its services can be dispensed with, to order the detachments that compose it, to march & join their respective Regts—but this is left for yourself to decide according to the occasion you may see for detaining it—I am however anxious it should take place. I am Sir Your Most Obet Servant
