From Alexander Hamilton to James Mease, [26 April 1778]
To James Mease
[Valley Forge, April 26, 1778]
Sir,
By command of His Excellency, I inclose you a letter to him from the officers of the German batalion. There appears, by the representation, to be something particular in the circumstances of that batalion, with respect to cloathing, which deserves attention. You will do whatever can be done with propriety to put them upon an equal footing with other Regiments.
I am Sir Your most Obed Serv
A Hamilton ADC
