Written from the War Office, a letter to Samuel Hodgdon, in full: "I send you herewith Major Craig's return of stores on hand April 1st & of those issued the preceding quarter. In his letter of the 1st instant he says that 'some cloathing is immediately wanted for all the troops'—meaning, I suppose, at Pittsburg, where the recruits from General Morgan's army were assembling, & to whom he must have had particular reference."
