They will need about twenty men as a guard and fatigue: which I shall be happy he could be furnished with, as early as they can be procured from the militia, or any other resource in possession of your Excellency.

Refers to an enclosure of Knox's instructions regarding stores left in Virginia for use by the Southern Department, and the plan of Deposit directed at Richmond or Westham. Has sent personnel to supervise the collection of the stores. They will be furnished with fatigue men from the Continental troops, and once those troops have left, he has arranged for local militia men to be posted there. He has situated Capt. Singleton at Richmond to receive the stores there and arrange for houses to store them. However, they cannot clean and repair the stores properly and make arrangements for them until Mr. Jones arrives, because he has the money and the authority to make the arrangements. Capt. Singleton needs men to help him debark the stores and bring them in, and Mr. Jones will likely need men to help manage the task, when he arrives. Mr. Jones is late to arrive, and Carrington needs to leave to join General St. Clair, so asks Col. Harrison to come to Richmond and help. Has appealed to the Government for help, as he was instructed to do, but has little hope of obtaining any help. Has enclosed instructions for Mr. Jones and Capt. Singleton.

Download Edward Carrington to Henry Knox Discussing the Transport of Military Stores, 10 January 1782 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Discusses problems related to the transportation of military stores from Yorktown to Westham or Richmond, Virginia. Comments that he and his associates are bound in their ability to carry out orders because the state government of Virginia refuses to help. Mentions the resignation of Thomas Nelson as governor and the election of Benjamin Harrison. Has managed to set up the stores near Westham, close to the river so as to be able to ship them by boat in case of danger, but fears that in an invasion or attack they still may not be able to protect them. Mentions the arrival of an independent Commissary of Military Stores, Captain [Nathaniel] Irish, instructed to report only to General Nathanael Greene. Refers to a letter he enclosed from Davis (Colonel William Davies, Commissioner of War in Virginia; see GLC02437.01324 and GLC02437.01325) about the impossibility of moving the stores by vessel. Makes a case for New London as a final destination for the stores, arguing that it is geographically well-situated and there are many artificers there who are sympathetic to their cause. Mentions Benedict Arnold, Thomas Jones, as well as Mr. Morris (likely Robert Morris, financier) who he will visit in Philadelphia to discuss procuring supplies.

Thanks him for his recent letter. Writes, Your suggestion as to the advantages to be derived from a personal attendance at the metropolis, is constantly found in the experience of Mankind & I am satisfied that such a step would give me a better appearance of success than I can otherwise have, but [were] this situation were it to continue for any length of time, would be painful to me, and no judgment can be [favored] when the arrangements of the Government will bring forward its permanent appointments. Is presently engaged in public business, but will travel to New York in early summer if he finishes the business by then. Writes, I shall adopt your advice in making a communication of my wishes to the President as soon as I am informed that he has accepted his appointment. This is a step that I should feel much difficulty in taking, but for the consideration that it will be perhaps, the only proper mode of tendency over services to the public. Adds a postscript regarding a new appointment that was made prior to his announcing his attention to seek a position.
