Sir
Mr. Hodgdon has forwarded to you the clothing and tents for Major Clark's battalion of levies; But it appears to me from information that it will be difficult to complete the said battalion-- In this case loss may arise upon the delivery of the clothing and other articles before the recruits are engaged as therefore Pittsburg is the rendezvous of that battalion, and the place at which it is to be equipped, You will take special care not to deliver the equipments faster than the actual recruits are produced--
In
In deed it will be very important in all your arrangements that you take the utmost care of the public property--
Mr. Hodgdon the Quarter master, will call upon you for extra services for which you shall receive a just compensation
I amSirYour humble servant HKnoxSecy of War
