October 31, 1778

Burnet, Ichabod, fl. 1778-1782

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Ephriam Bowen

Burnet reminds Bowen that he must send the clothing supplies already requested, as they are badly needed by himself and General Nathanael Greene. Greene was Quartermaster General at the time of this letter. Ichabod Burnet was Greene's personal aide, and issued many of his supply orders. The recipient is listed in the text as "Colonel Bowen." This almost certainly refers to Ephriam Bowen, the Deputy Quartermaster-General of the Rhode Island Militia, since the letter refers to supplies coming from Providence, Rhode Island.
