Description

Guimpe confirms that he has received by stagecoach--William Lindsey, Master--a [shipment] marked "US" with public stores that conform to the invoice. Two of the sergeant's coats are much coarser than the other two and it would still be good to get feathers for the helmets and cockades. Since the Sergeant has never received a sword, a few swords should also be sent.
