Full Description:
[ ? ] to Major Bruen. Extract of a letter from a gentleman conversant in business and whom had submitted some papers for Bruen's opinion. In the paper entitled 'Sketch of the Quarter Master General's Department at New York, for three months from the 1 January to 31 March 1781', it is shown that when the vessels, horses and wagons become the property of the government, there would be a saving of £186,802 10s 8d per annum. This account should be made up before the Board of General Officers to determine whether there would be a saving in purchasing instead of hiring as before.
