Writes, "General Knox desires me to inform you, that a Conductor, or Some person in your department who was lately at the Magazine near Head Quarters broke open the lock, & left the door tied with a string. He wishes you to have it secured without a moments delay, as the Stores are much exposed and bring the person with you to his quarters on Wednesday Morning at ten oclock."
