Title
Questions Training of Men without Proper Equipment; Refers to Federal and State Jurisdiction of Stores
Description
News from Governor Vanderhost: he does not feel that he has authority to disarm the militia at the present crisis. Vanderhost is concerned with Hodgdon's order. Claims he cannot tell what brass field pieces remains in the public arsenal, nor can he distinguish what belongs to the state and what belongs to the U.S. as they have been blended together for many years. Kalteisen wonders whether it is in his best interest to train men without proper equipment.
