Title
Supply Difficulties at Fort Johnston
Description
Robeson complains that his detachment arrived at Fort Johnston after a very disagreeable passage of 29 days. He did not get a sergeant's coat, vest, woolen overalls, and shirts at Governors Island because Captain Frye had none of those articles. There is a mistake on the return to the Quartermaster because he only received nine pairs of socks.
