[Le Ch Dubuyson, Philada to His Excellency Govr. Lee.]

Before the departure of Mr Henry & Mr Platers from Philadel-
phia, I mentioned my wish that the State of Maryland would take
into Consideration the two sons of my late Worthy friend the Baron
de Kalb who nobly fell at the head of the Troops of your state. In
Case the state grant the title of Citizens to those two Orphans, I
wish at the same time they had a rank in the Troops of the line,
they are from fourteen to sixteen years Old. Having not heard from
Mr Plater I mentioned this affair to Mr Carrol who assur'd me, that
part of my Petition had been Already granted; and that an Act had
pasStd in favour of the Baron and his Family; which Act I should
be much oblidged to your Excellency to send me; and if it is in your
power, to procure the Commissions I could wish to have them for-
warded with the Act. Your Excellency will please to Accept of my
warmest thanks for the Favour confer'd upon your Excellencys most
Obed. Hum. Servt.
