To John Heth, 20 September 1799
New York Sepr. 20th. 1799
Sir,
I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the seventeenth of this month—
With Considern I am, Sir &c: &
There is no immediate call for your services, and I have therefore no objection to the furlough which you desire—The time however is will probably be too long, and I have to request that you will report yourself to me every month—you will then receive orders according to circumstances—
