Knox writes to Pickering, Quartermaster General: "The officers in this vicinity, being discharged in the middle of an inclement season, without pay and in some instances without the subsistence money for the last month, are in general destitute of the means to transport themselves... to the place of their respective abode." Asks Pickering to grant them an allowance for transportation of their baggage.
