a "fly" for each of the officers tents.(fifteen) for it is almost impossible to live in one of these tents when the sun shines - with a double covering they are very comfortable.

It is of utmost impor- tance that good teamsters should be procured in Maine, & come on with the horses. - there are plenty of good ones to be had there, ^ it will be difficult selecting them here after the horses arrive.

Very Respectfully Your Obt Serv't C.D. Jameson
