To BRIGADIER GENERAL PETER MUHLENBERG
Head Quarters, Valley Forge, June 18, 1778.
Dear Sir: Colonel Harrison communicated yours of this date to me with the temporary arrangement of the 1st. 5th. and 9th. Virginia Regiments. The plan is agreeable to me, and if the same mode can be pursued in General Weedons Brigade I shall be exceedingly glad to have it adopted. Nothing will conduce more to filling the Regiments, than having a number of Officers to receive the draughts as they are made, and forwarding them immediately to Camp. Orders will be made out for Colo. Ballard 41 whenever he calls for them. I am, etc. 42
[Note: Lieut. Col. Robert Ballard, of the First Virginia Regiment. ]
[Note:The draft is in the writing of Tench Tilghman. ]
