Reports Medicine and Hospital Stores Sent to Fort Massac with Directions
Description
Received letter about medicine and hospital stores marked Fort Massac and West Florida. The Secretary of War suggests the whole supply be sent to Fort Massac. The commanding officer there should wait for more direction from General Wilkins about what to keep there and what to send out to the various posts. Requests that he write to the commanding officer of Mississippi to inform him of the supplies at Fort Massac and to wait for orders from Wilkinson. A trunk has been forwarded to Jonathon Schieffelin in Detroit which should be sent by the first conveyance. Hodgdon has gone to New York but will return in a few days.
