New York Governor Clinton writes to Major Collins to inform him that he disapproves of an enlistment scheme in Albany and has written "to Capt Marshall to put a stop to it, & discharge those Inlisted." Concludes: "I am surprizes that the Colonels shou'd suffer their Men to depart without proper Arms & Accoutrements, and I think that Colo Schuyler is in the right to provide them with what is necessary. A note by Clinton on the verso mentions a commission for Collins and the regulation of pay. Another note by Collins asks for blankets and guns.
