Sirs
I have received your letters of the 25th and 31st ultimo.
The issuing of the arms seems to
have been justified by the occasion. No doubt
will arise but they will be considered as part
of the two hundred muskets for which I gave
the governor an order, on the 31st of last month.
Mr. Hodgdon will forward the
locks you request.
It is to be hoped that Major
General St Clair will have arrived before
you receive this letter.
I am
Sir
Your humble servant
[signed] J. Knox
Secy of War
