[War departments Oct. 13^th 179-] Sir The clothing which has been forwarded under the charge of M^r Davis, on the 10^th and to day in Stage Waggons, is to be pushed on to Bedford so as to be there the further on the 19^th — If there be any assistance wanted or required what can be possibly obtained to secure their arrival at Bedford afford it promptly at any expence. Push on the Presidents Waggon also provided you may now have received orders for that purpose — Indeed all the Supplies for the army ought to be accelerated by all possible means. I am yours Knox To Col^o Blain or in his absence M^r Parker [Col. Ephraim Blaine — Or in his absence to M^r Richard Parker Carlisle [undecipherable] Esq^rs.] [War department Oct. 13, 179-] [Feb. 11, 179-] [Feb. 11, 1-] [undecipherable] [Recd]
