Dear Sir | Head Quarters Kings Ferry Augt 24th 1781 |
Colo. Pickering is in want of Three Travelling Forges to compleat the number for the Troops on this side the River, I wish you to supply them from your Command, and have them replaced from West Point, where there is a number that may be fit for service with very small repairs.
I am Sir Your Most Humble Servant
