Written by Colonel Humphreys as Washington's aide-de-camp to Major General Knox. Says General Washington desires him to have as much of the hard bread, which was delivered into Eldermen's store, issued to the detachment as they can carry. Asks that the bread be served out occasionally so it does not go to waste. "Public" written on address leaf with no signature. Docketed in Knox's hand.
