Full Description:
Smith to Campbell. New York. Received previous letters. Commander-in-Chief approves Captain Dugald Campbell to be his major of the brigade, but the one appointed by McLean must cease to do the duty. No commissions as brigadier are granted as he only appoints until the King's pleasure is known. Should his troops take the field they will have bat and forage money. His Excellency desires him to give D'Aubant permission to come to New York. Hopes Mr Fincane is continued in the office he held under McLean.
