Description
Discusses payment of some workmen for services at West Point, and requests advice on contracting for powder casks [whether repairing them or ordering new ones is unclear]. Requests that further money be sent; mentions that there is no current plan "for the Arms," but that General Knox will address this point on his upcoming visit to the post.
