Physical Description
A. L. S. Draught? 1 page. 4o
Description
Encloses the return of the thirteen Pennsylvania regiments; of those returned as sick present, the greater part are simply too naked to appear on parade; so many repetitions of their wants must give pain to the Governor, but he himself suffers more from viewing the distress of these worthy fellows: had they clothing, there would not be one deserter where now there are twenty.
