I just now receive advices from the Legion de
Lauzun, that there only remains grain and forage
untill the 10^th [illegible]. I send the order for their
movement to Petersburgh, where we have found
six miles from that place, a great pasture,
sufficiently abundant for them. I beg of your
Excellency to send an American quartermaster
to make the establishment, jointly with Mr.
Dumas, at that Place and its environs
