Signature has been clipped, but author Colonel Timothy Pickering is mentioned in the docket. Writes, "Agreeably to our mutual determination when last I had the pleasure of seeing you, I am content to receive Mr. Moses Dean again into my department, and to be responsible for his pay, which is to be equal to the monthly pay of a lieutenant in Capt. Patton's [perhaps Thomas Patten's] company of artificers. If you please this pay may commence the fifth day of the present month. I will thank you for a certificate that he will from that day be omitted in the pay-rolls of Capt. Patton's company."
