| Abstract | Comments on the measures adopted by Congress for procuring supplies for the army; remarks that although it may be desirable to have public agents free from any concerns in trade, if the states prohibit men who are concerned in trade from serving in the Quartermaster department it "will amount to almost a total prohibition of persons of any knowledge in business serving in the department"; urges him to settle accounts up to 1 March [1779]; encloses a copy [not present) of a letter from General Washington regarding discharging all established express riders; informs him that when Greene comes to Philadelphia, he will hear Hollingsworth's explanation about the loud and bitter complaints against the latter. | ||
