Written and initialed for Knox in the hand of Samuel Shaw, Knox's aide-de-camp. Writes, "I have received your letter enclosing a return of stores now at Verplancks and Stony Points. The deficiencies, as far as will complete each piece of ordnance to one hundred rounds of ball and twenty of grape shot, shall be sent down as soon as possible - also the carpenters tools as far as they can be supplied. I shall take an opportunity of reporting to the commander in chief the situation of those posts with respect to the guards of infantry who do duty there."
