Timothy Pickering to Alexander Hamilton, November 20, 1780

Camp [Preakness, New Jersey] Nov 20. 1780.

Sir,

The moment teams could be provided the boats at Dobbs ferry were sent for. I expect them up to-morrow, five at least, and six if so many were there. I will immediately dispatch an express to Major Cogswell to send teams for the five additional boats ordered from Kings-ferry.

I am your most obdt. servt.

Tim Pickering QMG

Colo. Hamilton
