Letter to the Secretary of Treasury

Description

Ephraim Blaine writes that, as the army is to march and the Quartermaster General to take immediate charge, he concludes that his services will no longer be necessary. Blaine will thus conclude his business in a few days. He will lay in sufficient supplies at the encampment, and take charge of the magazines of forage at Timothy Ryan's estate upon the Pennsylvania road to Carlisle. There are 3000 bushels of oats purchased by one of the deputies in the Glades, an open space in the woods in Pennsylvania.
