Title
Rebuke for Not Communicating Rations Issue; Delay in Soldiers' Pay Addressed
Description
Knox expresses the President's regret that a communication regarding rations was initiated by the officers and men of the Legion rather than by Wayne himself. A statement by the commanding general is given the same weight as if it were from every man under his command. Pay has yet to be forwarded and awaits the appointment of a man suitable for this responsibility.
