Abstract:
Has been staying with Dr. Tillotson, "who is just sitting out for the Northern Department." Discusses the "late Medical Arrangement establish'd by Congress," and the lower pay slated for the "Apothecary General to the several Departments" than for "a Senior Surgeon in the Hospital." Notes the difficulties facing the Apothecary General, especially "under the present situation of affairs." Discusses his efforts since the last campaign to procure "every valuable Drugg I cou'd lay my hands on, and compounding for the first Supply of our new Army." Was disheartened by Dr. Smith being appointed "Continental Druggist" but was placated when he was appointed Apothecary General of the Middle Department.
