To COLONEL TIMOTHY PICKERING

Saratoga, July 26, 1783.

Sir: A Number of Batteaux will be wanting to transport the necessary provisions and Stores to the Garrisons which may be kept on the Western Waters I must therefore desire that you will retain all such as are suitable for that purpose and have them put into repair. I am &c.

P. S. They need be put in no other repair than what is necessary to transport them to Schenectady; they must be overhauled afterwards. ¹¹

[Note:In the writing of Benjamin Walker; the P.S. is in that of David Humphreys. From a photostat of the original through the kindness of Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach, of New York City. ]
