Docketed to "Colonel" Tilghman, possibly Tench Tilghman, one of George Washington's aides. Reports that seventeen armorers employed at Fishkill, New York, have not been paid for nearly two years. If they do not receive clothing, Knox fears they will leave their posts, which will in consequence "greatly injure us especially in the repair of arms." Notes that the men work under John Ruddock, Deputy Quartermaster of stores at Fishkill. Thinks the men's request for clothing is reasonable. Knox's working draft.
