Let the troops be notified beforehand by the State authorities to equip themselves with such temporary knapsacks, haversacks, and canteens as each individual can prepare for himself. The central Government will supply these of good quality at the place of rendezvous as fast as they can be made. This will in a great measure prevent the perplexing and mischievous requisitions of Governors of States on the arsenals .<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">Respectfully, your obedient servant,<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"padding-right: 80px;\">J.
