Alexander Hamilton to Clement Biddle, June 3, 1779

Head Quarters Middle Brook [New Jersey] June 3d. 1779

Dr. Sir,

I inclose you a letter for Mr. Writtenhouse accompanied by a Theodolite which you will be pleased carefully to forward him for The General. 2

(Now on my own account) Gibbs 3 informs me you were obliging enough to promise that care should be taken of my mare and her colt at your place. I leave her in charge of Mr. Wallace 4 as my servant will be too much employed while we stay to carry her to your Quarters. I request you will have her sent for as soon as convenient. I hardly think her safe here.

I am D Col   Yr Obed serv

A Hamilton

Be pleased to forward the other letters by the first conveyances.
