Book Description
Cannot yet send the stores left in his charge because he has so far been unable to obtain fatigue men to help haul them. He will not be able to take a survey of the stores until he gets to Richmond. Fears he will not be able to remove them this winter, though he is on his way to Richmond to get help from Capt. Singleton. Writes, Rest assured Sir as soon as I can get an exact acct of the stores that it shall be forwarded by the first Conveyance. Refers to a Mr. Parvin (possibly Matthew Parvin) who has also been trying to acquire men. Reports that after Knox left, Col. Harrison passed through and directed him to meet up with General Nathanael Greene's army, but he replied that he was responsible for the stores on Knox's orders and could not leave until another person was put in charge of them. Col. Harrison went off, seemingly very angry. I have not seen nor heard from him since. Asks for Knox's instructions. A short note is added above the address saying he has received word that a colleague acquired a ship to carry the stores, so he hopes to be able to arrive in Richmond soon.
