You will do me the favour to order all the Negroes fit to work to parade on Chinquepin hill with all the wheel-barrows, spades, and pick axes that can be procured, to commence work without delay - it may be well to employ the constables, or other proper persons, to oversee their while at work - each will have his Squad Enrole their names and compel them to return to the work from their meals. Negroes employed at the Livery Stables where many of the Cavalry are kept ought to be excused. signed S. Smith Major Genl.
