Title
Accountability for Legion Stores & Pay, Recruitment Issues
Description
Knox requests that all articles and stores sent to the Legion be strictly accounted for. This should not take time from training the marksmen but strict accountability of public property is very important. Recruiters should know that adding new men to the Legion is solely their responsibility because no additional pay is forthcoming.

I have written circular letters to the officers at the recruiting Rendezvous urging them to the highest exertions in the recruiting service. Everything must result from their personal endeavors, as it is now beyond doubt that no additional sum will be added to the pay [of] this Legion.
