N.B. The Clerks of the Assistant Commissarys are allo'd thirty-five Dollars per month, & Scalemen thirty dollars. Coopers one dollar per day. Bakers from six pounds to seven pounds ten shillings per month.
The Assistant Commisarys appoint their own clerks & Scalemen. Several of the present Commissarys were formerly in the Army, but I can't say what Rank they severally held. The above Return Contains the Names of the Commissarys at present in the Service, many have been discharged, & others have resigned.
Mr. Gustavus Risturg [?] has acted as Assist. D.C.G. of Issues, and receiving stores from the former Commissary General. His name is not inserted in the above Return, but his service has been more than that of an Assistant of Issues.
Thomas Jones D.C.G. of Issues. O.T.
