Timothy Pickering to Bartholomew Dandridge, Jr.
War Office May 5. 1795.
Dear Sir
An express is going this morning with money to General Morgan’s army. I left with the President yesterday the copy of my letter of the 1st which went by last Saturday’s post to Genl Morgan.1 I would transmit that as a duplicate. And if the President thinks that a greater portion of the militia should be immediately discharged, or would give any other orders respecting them, I shall be happy to be informed thereof.2 I am now writing to Genl Morgan. yr obt servt

1. These letters have not been found. The previous Saturday was 2 May.
2. For GW’s earlier comments about discharging the militia detachment at Pittsburgh, see his letter to Pickering of 13 April.
