[Sam Huntington, President, Philadelphia, to His Excellency,
Governor Lee.]

The Regiment of Invalids being at the Desire of the Commander
in Chief forthwith to be removed from this City to garrison West
point on the North River, Congress have thought it expedient to pass
the enclosed Resolve of the 26^th Instant, recommending to the States
of Delaware Maryland & Virginia to settle with the Officers & Men
of that Regiment who are Citizens of those states respectively, on
Certificates from the Commanding Officer without requiring per-
sonal Attendance to liquidate their Accounts for Depreciation.
