Sir,

In Consequence of a Resolve of the Council of the 19th Inst, in which I am desired to lay before them the state of the Brigade under my Command I hereby inclose You a General return of the Foot, the last returns (made to me) of the Artillery Company & Captain Dickerson's Company of Light Horse. When the Council have done with them, I should be glad if they were returned, as I have not got duplicates.

I have the Honor to be
Sir Your Obedt Humble Servt
