Book Synopsis Henry Knox to the Board of War and Ordnance about Troop Numbers and Cannon, 21 July 1781 by : Henry Knox
Book excerpt: Reports, The uncertainty of obtaining a force adeq[uate] to the capital object in contemplation induced His Excellency the Commander in Chief to direct me to write to your honorable board on the 10th instant to suspend the transportat[ion] of the cannon and stores before requested... Relates that the states expected to furnish large numbers of men have not specified the numbers they will be able to supply. Asks the Board to hold the cannon and stores until the situation can be more surely assessed. Docketed by Samuel Shaw, Knox's aide. Written at Philipsburgh, New York (present-day Sleepy Hollow).
