Title

More Blankets Are Needed!

Description

The clothing and arms have arrived on board the sloop "Banger" but there must have been a mistake because there are no blankets, bayonet scabbards, or gun slings. Blankets in particular are needed during winter so Hodgdon is asked to find a way to provide them as soon as possible.
