Writes that Captain [Thomas] Seward has informed him of the ruinous state of brass items in the stores.

Also asks him to order from Mr. [John] Ruddock, Commissary at Fishkill, items like powder and paper for 30,000 cartridges.

Responds to Lamb's letter (see GLC02437.01354) that the notes which were to be paid to the officers were intended, by Robert Morris, to counterbalance the clothing provided for the soldiers. Morris's priorities are first to provide the soldiers and officers with rations, second to provide clothes (which these notes were intended to do for the officers), and third to provide pay, which they are working on obtaining. Argues that an officer who paid for clothing out of his own purse may use the payment as he likes, but that the intention was to pay for clothing for the officers. Mentions the Marquis de Lafayette.
