York, January 28th, 1815.

SIR-The following is a correct statement of the military stores of every description, by me collected, and safely deposited, viz.

3321 stand
38 do,

Public muskets,

do. rifles,

Total,

3359

Ditto of axes,

2

Tent poles and pins sufficient for the above markees and tents. I have had the tents that were in use, well washed, dryed and rolled. The camp kettles I have had well cleaned and oiled; the workmen are going on with the cleaning and oiling the arms as fast as possible, and in my opinion are doing them well.

There are a number of the arms of this brigade, which are not yet collected, nor is there room for them in the arsenal, without hampering the workmen.

I have had the arms that are fit for service stacked by themselves, and those that want repairing apart from them.

SIMON SNYDER.

I am your Excellency's,
Obedient humble servant,
ARCHIBALD S. JORDAN,
Brigade Inspector.
