War department,
March 9th 1793.
Sir.
You will have cleaned One Thousand muskets and bayonets, not of the Charlottville manufacture, and have them packed in chests proper for transportation — Also twenty five barrels of musket powder, and a proportion of lead, and one thousand powder horns — I suppose an estimate must be made for the lead.
These articles are to be shipped for Georgia in order to form a small magazine in that State, to answer sudden emergencies.
I am Sir
Your humble Servt
H Knox
