Knox informs Grant that West Point has only enough provisions to last for one week. Orders Grant to immediately obtain supplies. For Grant's response, please refer to GLC02437.02909.

Discusses obtaining provisions for troops. Mentions Daniel Parker & Co., who had previously provided supplies for the army under contract. See GLC02437.02901 for Knox's letter to Grant ordering supplies.

Knox writes to Grant, I have received your favor of the 4th instant, and accordingly we shall rely entirely upon you that the garrison [at West Point] are not out of provisions. Notes that Daniel Parker & Co., a firm that provided the troops with supplies, is too far away to be relied upon. Relates that the issuing commissary at West Point will have to issue a large quantity of rations to the Canadian refugees.

Knox writes to Grant, who was in charge of supplying West Point with provisions (refer to GLC02437.02921). Discusses the state of his account with Daniel Parker & Co., a contractor who supplied provisions to the army.

Informs Grant that the 4th Massachusetts regiment will be quartered several miles away along the river and to provide them with transportation and supplies as they are housed rather far from their post.

Orders Captain Price, commissary of military stores, to deliver supplies such as steel, wine, tin, flannel, leather, and blubber oil to Timothy Pickering, Quartermaster General.

Writes in full to a Mr. Grant, I beg you would come down to this post tomorrow to make some arrangements for supplying some troops who are to march the day after tomorrow towards New York.
