Description

"...Captain Brock...informs me he has no arms, clothing, or public stores of any kind, these men of Captain Gibson's and Lieutenant Lewis's at this place are in much want of clothing. I have received a suit of clothing per man for two complete companies but don't know whether I ought to give any part of it to these men who have drew before or keep it for the recruits. I wish for information on the subject. Sir, I take the liberty to remind you that I feel very anxious to visit my family from which have been absent near four years."
