Sir
Inclosed you have an Invoice of the Military Stores returned to me from the Jersey Line, the Muskets are clean and in nearly the same order as when Issued out — also the Cartouch Boxes belts & Bayonets, The Horseman & Common Tents are much worn & many of them will not be fit for any farther use, the Campkettles, Buckets, Shovels Spades, & Axes are of little value — Valieses, Mail Pillions, Swords, & Pistols, are in Good order The Artillery Stores are disposed of as in my last letter the pieces are stripped of their Apparatus which is all put into Store, with the above mentioned Articles the pieces are run under cover; The remainder of the Articles are mostly deposited in the public Stores at Reading, Greensburgh Bedford Carlisle & Fort Pitt The stores delivered to the Cavalry are mostly [strikethrough: also] taken home with them but am in hopes they will be forwarded soon I am in hopes to be in Town in a few days when I can give you a more particular account of the business
I am Your Most Humble Servant
