That the four old regiments shall form one division and two brigades, the twelve new ones two divisions and four brigades
no more than two regiments shall consitute a brigade
correspondent officers should be appoined who are principally Generals Quartermasters and Inspectors
I deem it essential the immediate appointment within my command of a Deputy Quartermaster General and one Division and two Brigade Quartermasters
the same thing must be requisite within the command of General Pinckney
as to Generals the President must decide
the discipline of the troops ought to be accelerated
