D[ea]r Sir, [?], April 10, 1794

                                            4 o'clock P.M.

On my arrival here this afternoon from Hallowell I found this Letter in the Post Office. Considering the urgency of the Order & the present incapacity of the M. General to attend to the business - I judged it eligible to transmit copies thereof to Colonel Starret, which I have accordingly done, Lt. Colo. Dodge (who commands the late Emerson's regiment & to Colonel Lemont. The latter of which accompanies this - And I wish you to enclose, seal, address & forward the same to him as soon as may be after you receive it.

The original Order after showing it to the General, I will thank you to forward to me, that it may lay on file in the D.A. General's Office.

I am with usual esteem D[ea]r Sir, Yours in haste

H. Sewall
