War department June 9^th 1791 Sir, I received yours from Carlisle, dated the 6^th instant. I pray you to revise all the preparations for the campaign before you depart the ohio. If time should be any in forwardness, inform me thereof and the articles wanting shall be forwarded. I shall order a sufficient number of Knapsacks for all the troops marched forward, to be painted and strapped. General Butler complains much upon this article. I shall also forward some port wine, Sugar, Tea, & Coffee as hospital stores. Hasten the collection of the cavalry horses and have them to head Quarters with the cavalry equipements under safe escort. Consult Major General Butler upon the object of the preparations are as soon as possible, report to Head Quarters. I am Sir Your most obedient Servant H Knox Sec^y of War Major Samuel Hodgdon Fort Pitt
