Encloses (not present) a return of military stores for the stores that have been transported from York to Manchester, Virginia. Relates that two sloop-loads of stores are still in York, but that they are working to obtain those and deliver them to Captain Nathaniel Irish, the Deputy Commissary General of Military Stores, who was recently sent from Philadelphia by the Board of War. Declares that Colonel Edward Carrington has been essential to the accomplishing of the task. Begs his assistance in obtaining money to finish the transport and obtain supplies. Asks if Knox will write to General Benjamin Lincoln, who is "totally unacquainted with me & my situation." Will be happy to receive any further commands. Docketed by Samuel Shaw, Knox's aide-de-camp.
