Writes, "I mentioned to his Excellency General Washington, that it might be well to send some persons to the State of Vermont after [desertion], and he is pleased to approve of it. I have not the least doubt but the persons who deserted from your guard are gone to that place, as one of them owns a small farm there which he purchased last summer, previous to his being apprehended as a deserter, with an intention, that this [step] might prevent his being at all apprehended. If you should approve the sending some persons, I will do it immediately."
