From Ebenezer Stevens, 2 October 1799

October 2, 1799

Sir

In your next letter to the Secretary of War I wish you to enquire of him whether there is a Sufficiency of woolen Overralls for the troops who are entitled to them this fall and if any are expected to be made by me—It is really necessary I should have this information soon and may prevent me from having to state to you that White Cloth is not to be had here

with perfect Consideration I remain Yr Ob Servt.

Ebenr Stevens.

Maj Genl Hamilton
