Title

Military Guard of the Public Stores

Description

The Secretary of War prefers a military guard over the public storehouses rather than paying a Silent Watch sufficient to visit all the stores at every hour in the night. He wants to know the number of sentinals required for this service and wants arrangements made to put it into effect immediately.
