Written from camp at Kings Ferry, New York. Tells Major Bauman that the party stores under his command are to halt at Potts Mill. Indicates that Colonel Olney's regiment will guard Bauman's charge, possibly a misidentification of Captain Stephen Olney. Bauman must obtain provisions from their nearest place of public availability. Provisions were needed for the campaign against Yorktown. Bauman commanded an artillery corps that was a part of Colonel John Lamb's Second Regiment of Continental Artillery. Lamb's regiment was part of Knox's Artillery Brigade. Knox had recently appointed Bauman to his post. Bauman served during the Battle of Yorktown the following month.
