Autograph endorsement signed on verso by Henry Knox, written from Mt. Washington, [New York] dated 6 October 1776, requests that Lieutenant Samuel Treat be granted passage over King's Bridge. John Hoff's memoranda explains the content and circumstances of the delivery (by John Hoff) of a letter from Joseph Hoff, owner of Hibernia Furnace, to Colonel Thomas Mifflin, requesting instructions for an order of artillery pieces (see GLC02437.00462). Since Mifflin went to Philadelphia, the letter is going to Henry Knox.
