Inspector comments:
"The military appearance and bearing of the officers and men is good, particularly Denson's Squadron. The men are generally well armed and mounted. The horses are in good condition. Some of the arms of the men are unserviceable (about 25 guns). The men are well done with light clothing but need new warm heavy clothing very much as also blankets and tents.
