Lancaster 16^th May 1792 Sir In compliance with your desire of the 4^th Instant 200 Approved Rifles are carefully packed in Cases and wait the Arrival of a Waggon from Philad.^a to transport them to Fort-Pitt— the waggon is expected here this Week— of the 50 Rifles presented by Sittler after unbreaching and thoroughly examining every part 30 were Approved, and a Certificate has been given in consequence— the Remaining 20 could not be received in their then State— I have the best reason to Assure you that you can depend on having the number now on hand Augmented to 1130 perhaps a few more by 1^st July, Lancaster & York Counties and those of a superior quality, I understand there are but two Rifle Makers in Carlisle & that they would not pass muster here, for which reason I have not applied there— P.S. Would it not be well to have all the Rifles packed in Cases for transportation as they come in?
