To COLONEL STEPHEN MOYLAN

   Head Quarters, June 18, 1778.

    Sir: I am commanded by His Excellency to desire that you will immediately assemble all the cavalry not on duty at some place the most convenient to camp where forage is to be had, there to hold themselves in readiness to move on the shortest notice; when you have done this you will please to inform the Genl. of the place where they are and where your quarters. 43 I am, etc.

[Note:Moylan was then at Trenton, N.J. ]

    P.S. The Genl. desires that you will provide Tents, not meaning that you should use houses; the Q. M. G. is in stock. 44

[Note:This letter is signed by Richard Kidder Meade as aide-de-camp. ]
