Title
Payment for Arms Cleaned and Repaired
Description
Following instructions from Knox from June 1788, Price delivered 500 stands of Hessian arms to James Morrow for repair. Morrow has completed the work and is owed 93 pounds 15 shillings. Per that same letter, Price paid Morrow the equivalent of 86 pounds 4 shillings in old arms, old iron, and blankets, which leaves the balance due Morrow 7 pounds 11 shillings. There are four hundred more damaged arms which might be replaced, and about 1,000 french arms which Morrow might repair and clean at the rate of six shillings per stand. In response to Knox's letter of March 16, Price will send mortar, sponges, and fuses by Mr. Garrison's sloop. Price asks that Knox send back with the bearer, Mr. Morrow, two gallows of sweet oil for the guns.
