Summary
Writes that upon receiving his note, Knox sent to all the shops that might sell American broad cloth but was exceedingly chagrined to learn there were none in town at present. Found that some cloth was expected in town very soon, in light grey, Hartford grey, bottle green, and dark brown colors. Will be able to secure the quantity he and Mrs. Washington would like and send it immediately, though he warns that Washington might be disappointed with the quality of the cloth, as it is only about good as an english second cloth.
