Memo. two bills drawn for fire and candlelight according to the establishment: C. and garrison extremely obliged to the Sec. of War for writing to Lynn and Gordon. Garrison deserves better treatment than it has received. "I am very Uneasy to find that no bedding nor cloathing is forwarded for ye Troops whose Miserable Condition are Objects of Pity Notwithstanding my frequent Repetitions of their Necessity's." M. will find that C. has drawn no bills since provisions came from G. B. "(save Melasses to make Beer wch was wanting)" In regard to the Muster-rolls, Nicholson left no directions, but took lists which he said would be sufficient until a commisary came. When Wright came, he would not meddle in the matter, as it was before his time. Refers M. to the muster-rolls for the strength of the garrison. Asks for the garrison accts. "which will be A great Satisfaction to our Troops, whose patiance with Promises are quite Wore out."
