Articles Needed to Complete the Troops

Price lists the articles needed to complete the troops. There are only enough buff cartouch box belts for two companies, as Captains Burbeck and Savage need to have a number on hand and none were turned into the stores when other companies were discharged. Price only has two wall and ten common tents which will stand up to use, although he does have five very large hospital tents if Knox thinks fit to deploy them. Drums can be made at West Point and the linen knapsacks on hand will serve. The river is clear of ice and should be clear all the way to Newburgh in a few days. Knox can send anything by the bearer Mr. Ross. Price thinks there will be enough buff waist belts to alter into bayonet belts. He asks for printed muster and inspection rolls if there are any on hand.
