Henry Knox To Clement Biddle About Rations For The Pennsylvania Troops 14 April 1788

Knox, Secretary of War, replies to a 10 April letter from Biddle. Discusses furnishing the Pennsylvania quota of troops with rations, noting that he wrote a public letter to Biddle on the same topic (this letter is marked private on the docket).
