LETTER TO GENL. MOORE.

25th July 1776

Sir,

We Acknowledge a Majority of your field Officers must be the Judges. With respect to Blankets we can only say we have taken every step in our power to procure them. We have the promise of a supply from Philadelphia and that nothing in our power shall be omitted to prevent any Just cause of complaint in the Army. Our orders to you from Whitfields on Neuse we conceive you have Misunderstood as they contained nothing more than that you in Conjunction with General Ashe should annoy the Enemies as far as in your power not expecting impossibilities

We are Sir, your Hmble. Sevt
EATON
