| Title | Letter between unknown parties about military stores |
| Date | 18 October 1781 |
| Document Type | Correspondence; Military document |
| Content Description | Requests that vessels with military stores disembark at Trebell's Landing and have the listed quantities of ordnance boarded onto the sloop Flora. Also lists items to be taken from the Flora and loaded onto another vessel, which will sail toward Yorktown. The instructions are in the same hand as notes written in the margins of GLC02437.01238, a list by Richard Frothingham, a Deputy and Principal Field Commissary of Military Stores in Henry Knox's artillery train. These orders are possibly connected to those given to J. Pryor in a letter dated 13 October 1781 (see GLC02437.01225). |
