Title
Orders Not to Receive Articles that Might be Taken by Insurgents
Description
Except for some bags, tents, and camp kettles returned by Colonel Postlethwait of the Provision Department and tents, kettles, and axes by a wagoner who broke his wagon, there were no deposits made with Parker on the return of the Militia Army. General Irvine ordered Parker not to receive a single article because it was believed the Insurgents might take them after the Army returned.
