To George Washington from Timothy Pickering, 19 March 1782

Sir,	Philadelphia March 19. 1782.

I was honoured with your letter of yesterday’s date, desiring to be informed when the arrangements yet to be made in my department would admit of any return to the army. The Secretary at War being arrived, I expect every matter will be so adjusted as to admit of my leaving town in ten days: it will make me happy if I can sooner follow you. I have the honour to be very respectully Your Excellency’s most obedt servant

Tim: Pickering
