Clothing Should be Forwarded Immediately
Description
Jackson sent his returns for clothing wanted for for his battalion of Artillerists and Engineers to Ebenezer Stevens in New York.

He notes that Person Titcomb, a cadet, purchased his own clothing so he should be reimbursed. Captain John Henry has written that his soldiers have also had to purchase their own clothing.
