Mentions sending a regiment to Connecticut. Discusses the place where wood can be obtained with the greatest facility. There will be a regiment of men wintering at West Point so [t]he roads shall be put into the best order for this purpose. Would like the wood to be transported by water as quickly as possible, since [t]o put off this arrangement until the winter, and then to oblige the Men to hall it upon sleds, will be a herculean task, to which their strength will be fully unequal.
