appointments: as it will be necessary that every officer should have his rank ascertained when he joins the Continental Army by Commission. For which purpose, Col. Patten, or Adjutant Ingles will wait on your Excellency to know your pleasure thereon, and whatever Commissions will be made out, they will bear them to me or to the Gentlemen concerned.

I am with due esteem
Your Excellency's most humble servant,
