Sir:

I take the liberty of recommending to you as Agent of the Continental line of this State, to transmit to the principal towns in the several Districts of this State, the Certificates belonging to the Officers and Soldiers of the said line who reside, or whose representatives reside, in the respective Districts and appoint some person to deliver them out at each respective place, whose business it shall be to give proper notice of the time and place of his attendance.

This I conceive to be the readiest way for the persons entitled to receive their Certificates and as the expences incident to this Business

will be a general charge against the United States, I flatter myself you will have no objection to the measures recommended.
