Peekskill, December 1st, 1776.
DEAR SIR: I have received your favour of the 29th ultimo, and thank you for the vigilance which you have discovered in securing the stores, &c˙, at Tapan. I should have ordered you to have returned to your former post before this time, but have waited for the moving of part of the Army on this side, whom I have been for several days expecting would cross over the river. They will most probably pass this day or to-morrow, after which you will join Colonel Huntington with your regiment, except two companies, which you are to detach, upon the receipt hereof, to Colonel Hay' s, to protect such stores and provisions
I am, dear sir, yours affectionately,
W˙ HEATH.
Colonel Tyler.
