Extract of General Orders Jan^y 16^th 1800 Adjutant Generals office New York Jan^y 16^th 1800. Muster and Pay Rolls, directed by the order of 26^th November last, to be sent to the Deputy Pay Master General at New York on to be forwarded through the channel of the Pay Masters of the different Regiments or officers or agents, acting as such. Gambling, a vice ruinous to the reputation of an Army, and fraught with every evil, not only to those who suffer from it, but to the troop in which it is tolerated, is therefore pointedly ordered, that no officers or Soldiers play at any game, with cards, or dice, at or within one mile of the Camp, Garrison or Post, at which he may be stationed, nor for money, at any game whatsoever.
