Inclosed is a return of Articles of Cloathing wanted at Fort Wolcott for immediate use. I request that they may be forwarded without delay, and that You will inform me accordingly—

It is desirable that the companies which will be stationed at the several garrisons should be provided with tents for summer use. This will conduce to habits necessary in the field and to the health of the Soldiery. I request that there may also be forwarded a number of Common and horsemens Tents, according to the usual allowance, sufficient for the companies and to the several stations mention’d at foot. An urgent request has come from Major Toussard at New York

But in transmitting this Supply you will bear in mind that tents ought to be furnished without delay for the Regiments about to be raised. You will therefore mention this requisition to the Secy. of War, and arrange this matter according to prospect of supply—

With great consideration &c
