Discusses Captain Allen's delay in discharging the Rhode Island regiment. Says he heard Allen did not receive Knox's order, originally sent in November, until the beginning of December ordering Allen to disband the Rhode Island regiment. Instructs Allen to immediately disband if he has not already done so and to send Knox confirmation (see GLC02437.02863 for Allen's confirmation of the number of troops discharged; refer to GLC02437.10191 and GLC02437.10195 for related correspondence).
