11To George Washington from Brigadier General Jedediah Huntington, 16 November 1778 (Washington Papers)
I understand by Col. Meigs that it is expected at Head Quarters that the Connecticut Troops will be supplied with Cloathing by Major Biggelo the Dep. Clothier at Hartford—but by the best Information I can get, he will not [be] able to clothe them in Uniform, nor, in any Manner, before Spring—If it is possible, I should be very happy to see the Connecticut Troops once well cloathed in Uniforms...
12From George Washington to Brigadier General Jedediah Huntington, 18 November 1778 (Washington Papers)
I am informed by Colo. Bland who has the care of the convention Troops, that the first division of them would be at Sharon this Night. It is more than probable that many of these under the pretence of desertion will endeavour to find their way into New York; I would therefore wish you to stop all that may happen in your way and detain them untill you think their release may be safe—or send...
13From George Washington to Brigadier General Jedediah Huntington, 19 November 1778 (Washington Papers)
I have been favoured with your Letter of the 16th Inst. I confess I expected that the Connecticut Troops were to receive their cloathing from Major Bigelow—and was surprised to find—that there was even a wish or an idea to the contrary. I have ever held and, I hope, I ever shall, all the troops of the Army in the same point of light—and as far as it has been in my power they have had equal...

Your several Favours & Commands of the 18th 19th & 20th reached me this Evening—Orders are gone to Genl Nixons Brigade to proceed to the Continental Village —I shall observe your Directions as to Deserters from the Convention Troops. After my Letter on the Subject of Cloathing had gone from me, I was not without a painful Apprehension that my Manner of expressing myself on the matter might be...
15To George Washington from Brigadier General Jedediah Huntington, 20 November 1778 (Washington Papers)
I have just recd Your Excellencys Order of Yesterday, from the last situation of the Division it was most convenient for Nixon’s Brigade, who lay in Woodbury, to march by the new Bridge through Newtown, where they halted last Night —I halted the Connecticut Brigades about three Miles North of this Town & came in myself to find a suitable Place for the Whole—the best position, on account of...
16From George Washington to Brigadier General Jedediah Huntington, 22 November 1778 (Washington Papers)
In consequence of a Letter this minute received from Colo. Bland who is conducting the march of the Convention troops and whose Van would be at Sharon last night, I am under the necessity of detaching a part of the pensylvania Brigades to escort them from thence to the North River. This detachment with the several guards furnished by ’em, leaves this pass almost destitute of Men. I therefore...

19From George Washington to Brigadier General Jedediah Huntington, 8 January 1779 (Washington Papers)
On Rect of yours of the 23d Decemr I laid it before the Board of War for their direction. As the purchase of any kind of Cloathing out of the regular line occasions a deal of confusion, they will take the matter into consideration, and if they do not see a probability of supplying you in any other manner, they will direct Major Bigelow to procure Hats for the two Connecticut Brigades, which...
