Title
Shipment of Clothing to West Point
Description
Enclosed an estimate and return of clothing sufficient for 1798 and 1799 for the garrison at West Point. Ingersoll reminds Hodgdon of the necessity of delivering the clothing before November 15th, as after that date the North River will be too icy for feasible navigation. Requested additional attention to the matter as the troops are in need of clothing immediately.
