notable item/thing
list of new appointments in the 7th, 8th, and 9th Regiments
I doubt the present expediency of appointing more than two [cadets] to each regiment of infantry
[it is] expedient to appoint the full number allowed in the corps of Artillerists
necessity of a supply of clothing to [Morris's] garrison
urgency of the demand
supply of clothing for the garrisons in this vicinity
none in store
These deficiencies in a time of peace with such a handful of troops to be supplied are greatly to be lamented
