Scope and Content

This is a letter from the commander of the Monterey Redoubt to the Ordnance Officer stationed in Monterey. He requests to know why the Ordnance officer was reported AWOL. This is the start of a series of letters around the question of whether the Ordnance Office must submit to the control of the local commander or whether they are part of the Ordnance Department and exempt from rules of the local commander.
