Marked as a duplicate. Major Haskell and Captain J. Bliss write to Brooks, assistant clothier general. They give Brooks a report on their inspection of 499 hats in the clothing store: "... in our judgment the whole unfit to be issued to the Troops-- some of them are too small in the crown, others are too narrow brim'd, and the remainder are so illy made as to render them almost unfit for any service."
