I have given Orders for returns to be made out for what Articles are on hand, and another for what are wanted, which when procured & compleated shall forward on to Colo Stevens—I shall in future apply according to your Orders to the different departments & shall endeavour not to trouble you with any unnecessary communications—In regard of Hospitals & Prisons I will consult Major Tousard on the Subject and will convey you his & my Ideas on the same

General Lincoln has received Orders to erect a Temporary Hospital at Castle William which is now in great forwardness—
