Written by Brooks as Assistant Clothier General to General Knox. Says that about 26 June when the troops marched from West Point for Philadelphia an order from Washington for 300 pairs of shoes for the 2nd Massachusetts Brigade and 2nd Massachusetts Regiment was sent out. Heard that they were to be delivered by Knox's order. Wants to know how many were delivered to each regiment and who received them so they can be properly accounted for. Wants a receipt written on the back of the order dispersing the shoes until he can get the proper vouchers. "Public service" written on address leaf with no signature.
