Major-General Dearborn will therefore make out an accurate Arrangement for forming the new Regi- ments, and also for forming them into two Brigades. He will consult the greatest public convenience in his Arrangements; he will mature his plans by informing himself thoroughly of all obstacles which may impede them if carried into effect; & he will satisfy himself of their fitness so far as possible by his own observation, before he transmits them -- he will then forward them to the Adjutant-General, to be laid before the Governor and Council, for their decision thereon.

               By order of the Commander in Chief
                         Wm. Donnison, Adj. General

Att. H: Sewall, D. A. Genl.
