Sir, | Head Quarters 11th May 1782 |
My present uncertainty respectg the Operations of the Campaign prevents my giving you at this Time a decided Answer to your Request respecting the Invalid’s you mention being in Phila.—If your Regt should be ordered to Pennsylvania (as is possible) it would subject the poor fellows to a very needless & tedious March—This Indecision I suppose will prevent your sendg at present for your Family. I am &c.
