George Washington to Charles Dick, 28 November 1755

[Mount Vernon, 28 November 1755]

To Mr Dick

If those necessaries which Major Lewis ordered for the use of Captain Hogg–€™s Company at Fort Dinwiddie, are not already gone, they must be sent off immediately, as he is a great sufferer for want of them; and which quantity of Salt must be made up twenty-five bushels. 1

I should also be glad if you would order up to Winchester about 400 weight of Steel, and a Hogshead, number 2, which contains Shirts; also a Bale no. [ ] containing Blankets, and your 2 Hose. I am &c.

G:W.
