Title
Relative Rank of Junior Officers, Etc.
Description
Hamilton explains to Col. Rice that his junior officers should understand that their relative rank is arranged according to the order of their appointments. Hamilton also reprimanded Rice for divulging the new appointments to the officers prior to the decision being official. Also asked that if the contractor chooses to provide rye flour in lieu of wheat flour to the troops, he must provide his motives in writing to Hamilton.
