To Nathan Rice
N. York Oct. 22d 99.
Sir
At foot you will find a list of Articles of Quarters master’s Supply necessary for hutting and providing fuel for a Regiment, two thirds of which, it is supposed, on account of the Regiments not being full, will suffice; which you are desired to procure without delay.
With great consideration &
Col: Rice
The Qr. Mr’s Agent is Jona Jackson Esqr.
