Letter to Nathanael Greene and portrait, 1776 October 22 and n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55228023

Rutledge informs Greene that the Board of War has ordered 200,000 cartridges he requested be sent to him immediately. He notes that the Board has many such requests and wishes that Washington could "procure such Supplies of Ammunition as he may want, from the Eastern States, there being very little in this City, from whence alone every Demand to the Southward of Hudson's River must be answer'd." He adds that orders about salt purchases have been given and Greene shall hear about them as soon as possible, and concludes with wishes for his "Success & Honour."
