Title
Order & Discipline in the Legion, and Reinforcements & Promotions
Description
Wayne hopes the Legion's officers' communique on rations does not injure its impression of order and discipline, as these have been trained into them well. Detachment of Virginia dragoons has arrived, sadly reduced by desertion; they will be sent down the Ohio to Fort Washington. Necessary promotions in the cavalry have been made, due to shortage of officers; 2 resignations mentioned, one by an officer unfit for duty due to "an avidity to whiskey."
