Book Description
Writes, His Excellency the Commander in chief has informed me (the Quarter Master having represented to him the scarcity of tents) that your regiment must go into barracks on the point. You will therefore select the twenty best in repair, and put your regiment into them, and place your officers in the most contiguous buildings. Informs Tupper about that laborers encamped at the point might have stripped the barracks of boards and other appendages, and has asked Colonel [John] Crane to work with Tupper on stopping them (see GLC02437.01550 for more information). Also mentions that he will arrive at West Point that afternoon or the next morning.

Book Description
Knox, Commander at West Point, reports that he did not receive Washington's two most recent dispatches. Plans to continue to discharge the invalids and those whose times of service may shortly expire. Requires Washington's instructions regarding preparing the barracks [at West Point] for 3,000 men for the winter. Remarks, The british unreasonably protract the evacuation of New York. They appear to be ready either to go or stay as shall be most condusive [sic] to their views. Major [Sebastian] Bauman, recently in New York, reported that the British would not get away untill December. If his conjecture should be right they will hardly go at that time. Your Excellency is probably posses'd of such information, as to enable you to decide with precision as per their intuitions. Notes that Lieutenant Colonel Villefranche (Chevalier de Villefranche), Major [Pierre] L'Enfant, and Major [Stephen] Rochefontaine would be well pleased to stay in the American Service. They wish however to retain their rank in the french Army and to go to France this winter.

Book Description
Writes, I sent to Mr. [Daniel] Carthy a note this morning directing him to apply to you for a crew for a boat which Carthy was to have ready for me. The movement of the army to-morrow, which I must attend, will require that I be able to move with expedition whenever duty may call me. I should therefore be furnished with good oarsmen. If they are taken from the garrison intended to remain at the Point, I will return them as soon as their movement is finished. I beg you to give directions accordingly. Also discusses obtaining horses for moving the artillery.
