Writes that he called to say goodbye this morning but did not want to disturb Knox since Knox has been ill. Discusses military stores "in case of Offensive operations to the Westward," and has included an estimate. Mentions that the stores at Fort Pitt are only sufficient for a defensive plan. Hopes there will not in the future be "so great a consumption of stores in that quarter without execution."
