What I’m Reading:
The health of the troops depends so much upon keeping themselves clean that too much pains cannot be taken for that purpose… As every kind of Sloveness or Inattention will be severely punished — The Officer of the Day is to be carefull in Examining the Mens Appartments to see if they are kept clean and in good Order…
— Lt. Col. Marinus Willett / Fort Stanwix Garrison Orders, March 20th, 1778
