Captain Morris complains to General Smallwood about being at home, not in the field, for such a long period of time. States "Tis the greatest misfortune that can befall an Officer to be long out of Camp, his pay can in the manner we are paid off, may support us while in the Field, but when we are at home we are drawn, in a Manner, involuntarily into expenses." States that he can not satisfy his debtors. Requests a small loan with which he expects to repay unspecified Officers.
