9122. WHISKY, Military supplies.—

We approve of your accommodating * * * the Maryland troops with spirits. They really
deserve the whole, and I wish we had means
of transportation for much greater quantities
which we have on hand and cannot convey.
This article we could furnish plentifully to
you and them.—
To General Edward Stevens. Washington ed. i, 253. Ford ed., ii, 339.
