B. Green to the Governor May 14, 1795

This moment arrived from Baltimore Captain Deogrel, in whence came passenger Major Rivardie, who informs me the Federal troops are to proceed to West Point Fort. Should that take place, I hope your Excellency will station me at Fort Norfolk in preference to Fort Nelson, it being more convenient for the company (having no water to cross). The Grenadier company of Portsmouth is sufficient for Fort Nelson, if I done give my opinion, and the company of artillery under my command are ready and willing to do duty at Fort Norfolk if it should meet with the approbation of your Excellency.
With, &c.
