In conformity to a Resolve of the General Court of last year, the Quartermaster-General has procured to be cast (and now are mounting) five pair of Brass Field-pieces; these will be distributed in the following manner to the several Divisions under mentioned, which are the most deficient; and the Major-Generals will apply them to the Corps of longest standing, and not before supplied; viz.

To the second Division, one pair; (Essex county) To the sixth Division, one pair; (York & Cumberland) To the seventh Division, two pair; and (Worcester) To the eighth Division, one pair. (Lincoln.)

In but few instances have returns of the uniform agreed on for the several Regiments and Corps been made, as were required by the Order of February last; these are much wanted, and being necessary to the completion of the standards now making; as the colour of them, as far as is practicable, will be regulated by the colour of the facings of each Corps.
