Colonel Johnson explains the circumstances of Sergeant Barns, of the 2nd Connecticut Brigade, to Major General Henry Knox. Recommends Barns for a leave of absence, though the maximum number of soldiers allowed on furlough has already been reached by Barns's company. Writes that Barns's wife is "at the point of death." Note on verso indicated that Colonel Johnson has been permitted to grant the furlough. Possibly created at Highlands, New York.
