General (1751–1829) during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 who served as secretary of war under Thomas Jefferson. LS signed as secretary of war “H. Dearborn,” one page both sides, 8 x 9.75, October 20, 1804. Letter to Tench Cone. In part: “We have not at present any money in Bank on account of the factories of course no warrant can be be drawn on that fund until further deposits are made…I cannot conceive why there should be such a quantity of spare clothing on hand. I am of opinion that all the articles mentioned as being in the store, made up or not, are unsuitable for uniform clothing…The muslin shirts ought to be ruffled and sent here for Indians, and charged to the general Indian account. Pray what would such a quantity…have been intended for? I presume that it can only be suitable for watch coats…Such clothing, as has been made up or not, and which is susceptible of such alterations, as the present make of the uniforms requires, should be used for next year’s clothing…In answer to your letter of the 10th Inst. relative to the order for Indian goods, I have to remark, that no arm bands can be spared from this place.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, edge loss to right side, scattered toning, and a few heavier spots of adhesive remnants.
