JOHN MORGAN.

On the above, I would remark, that many of the Surgeons have paid no attention to the General Orders, by neglecting to bring in their Returns; that, in general, they are but miserably supplied with Instruments, Bandages, Lint, Rags, &c., and much worse with Medicines; some having none at all, or next to none.

A Return of the Surgeons and Mates of Brigadier-General SULLIVAN’S Brigade, examined agreeable to Orders, &c.

Isaac Spafford, Surgeon, of Colonel Nixon’s, approved.

Caleb G. Adams, Surgeon, of Colonel Poor’s, approved, but means to quit his place.

Mr. Green, of—, Mr. Goss, of Stark’s, both sick; therefore, not yet examined.

Mr. Parker and Nathaniel Breed, Mates, approved. Nathaniel Burnap, Mate, not qualified.

One Mate declines examination; but his name is not come to hand.

JOHN MORGAN.

I have not yet had leisure to make out a list of Instruments, Bandages, and Medicines, necessary for each Regiment, but shall at first leisure. I have given directions in what manner the Hospital Surgeons are to assist the Regimental Surgeons at Roxbury, and would beg a few minutes’ conference with his Excellency General Washington on the same subject in respect to Cambridge.

General Return of the Army of the UNITED COLONIES, commanded by His Excellency GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esq., General and Commander-in-Chief; Head-Quarters at CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 2, 1776.

HORATIO GATES, Adjutant-General.
