Résumé du livre
Enclosing report to General Washington regarding the state of the regiment. Richardson has small pox and has inoculated the entire regiment. Complains of lack of officers, hardship and illness. It is a wonder that they don't die at a much faster pace. He also expresses some discontent regarding commissions, as I have not had influence enough to make a single officer... and strangers are put in that have never seen service.
