Abstract:

The collection consists of receipts for supplies--flour, cattle, pork, rum and whiskey, etc.--and services delivered/rendered to the Continental Army, as well as several other documents pertaining to American military supplies during the Revolution. Most of the receipts were given to Enos Kelsey (Princeton Class of 1760), who at that time was a major in Colonel Chambers' Battalion of the New Jersey State Army, apparently buying supplies locally in Princeton.
