Sir,
The Officers for the Regiment of Artillery still remaining unfixed, and of consequence the Inlisting men for it greatly impeded, I should be glad as I am a perfect stranger to that Corps if you, with Genls Thomas and Spencer would assist me in Scrutinizing a list given In by Colos. Burbeck and Mason at my desire.
For this purpose you will please to be here to morrow at 11 Oclock. I am with respect Sir Yr Most Obedt Servt
Go: Washington
