Written by Brigadier General Knox to Major Bauman of the 2nd Regiment of Artillery. Orders Bauman to take command of the companies of artillery when he reaches "this place." Tells him to march his units through Smith's Clove(?), Ringwood, & Curtis's Tavern on Pompton Plains and that he will then receive further directions. Wants him to start his marches early in the morning and that he needs to reach Curtis's Tavern by the day after tomorrow. Seems to be ordering him to impress any teams of animals he needs along the way, but if there are any magistrates around, to do it through them (the handwriting is rather messy toward the end of this document). Closes with "I wish you a good march."
