Enclosed you have an account of Clothing
delivered the twelve Regiments to the present day. The Store is
totally exhausted of some articles, particularly Coats, but an
exertion is making to obtain a supply, and I hope in my

[Gen. Alex. Hamilton—]
Sir,
One hundred and twenty four common Tents
remain in the public Store this day subject to order; there
are also Nine Horseman's Tents which is said to be damaged,
but which perhaps may be made useful by mending or
repairing the injured parts. One hundred and forty four common
Tents are under order and packed up for the Sixth Regiment
waiting for transportation— Twenty three of the common
Tents want repairs—
I am, Sir,
your most obedient Servant,
Samuel Hodgdon
James McHenry, Esqr,
Secretary of War.
