Title
A request from Camp Carlisle for more tents
Description
Biddle writes Hodgdon from Camp Carlisle, where more troops are arriving every day but there is a deficiency of tents. Nearly 500 men are without tents, and this number will only get worse. The wagon that brought what should have been 100 tents only brought 65. Biddle asks for another 100 common tents and 30 horsemans tents.
