CIRCULAR
Norwich, June 28, 1813.
Sir,
His Excellency the commander in chief requires that an immediate examination should be made of the arms and equipments belonging to the men under your command. And as it is desirable to have it done effectually and with the least inconvenience to the men; each commandant is permitted to inspect them by calling out the company under his command, or by taking to his assistance his subalterns, and inspecting the men individually at their respective homes. They must be completely furnished with twenty-four rounds of {Begin inserted text} Ball {End handwritten} cartridges as required by law; that in case an alarm should happen, or a detachment be required, no delay should prevent their marching completely furnished at the shortest notice.
By Order,
EBEN. HUNTINGTON, Adjutant-General.
