Additional Details

"Mr. McIntosh who is going with his father, the General, to Fort Pitt, he wishes to see Baron Steuben's instructions & make such extracts as he shall judge most necessary. You took the instructions with you in the morning."
Pickering appends "jun[io]r" to his name, because he is the namesake of his father, who died in 1778.
