In Congress, March 16, 1779 Whereas discontent, loss of discipline, and diminution of the strength of the line, have arisen, by employing the Continental troops as waggoners ... Resolved therefore, that the commander in chief be authorised and directed to take proper measures for causing to be enlisted such a number of waggoners as he shall judge necessary for the service (Printed by Hall and Sellers, 1779)
