Date inferred due to this document's similarity to GLC01450.435.01. Lists officers' names, rank, days in service, and ration allowance, among other items. Clapp signs at the bottom of the page, certifying that "the several Officers above named actually served under my Command in the Northern Department agreeable to the several ranks and time above mentioned during which time they have drawn no more Provisions from the Publick stores than what is given Credit for in the foregoing Ration Accounts." Requests the recipient to pay Quarter Master Benjamin Clapp for the cost of rations.
