Apologizes for the difficulty Colonel Nicola is having at Fishkill, and declares that he would help instantly were it in his power. However, the teams and equipment Colonel Nicola needs can only be gotten from the Quartermaster General, so he asks Colonel Nicola to apply to the Quartermaster General directly. Comments that His Excellency [General George Washington] has not yet decided where to station the Invalids for the winter, but will know when "he makes the general arrangement of the army which will be very soon. But he appears to think constitution island a proper place for them and that they will be very competent" to do the work assigned to them there. Will let him know as soon as General Washington tells him the plan. Adds that the "Stores will all be removed from Fish Kill as soon as the army goes to winter quarters."
