Sir,
I am now busy forming a General account of Clothing delivered to the Corps Since its formation to the first of January last — as no officer have kept the least memorandum of what they received, and, whom they delivered it to, it is not the most easy performance of my Duty — you might assist me a great deal in finding the accounts of Clothing Sent to this day, to the officers of the corps recruiting at the different rendezvous —
Will you furnish me a parcel of Printed Monthly, & weekly returns of Regimental inspection Rolls &ca, of whatever has been pointed to render the provisioning through out the army of the U.S; Some Printed furloughs, would also be acceptable.
I am Sir Your ob. Serv.t
Step: Rochefortaine
Sam: Hodgdon — Esq.
P.S.
our friend [undecipherable: probable reading "Pickering"] is Succeeded by Mr. McHenry of Maryl.
