Title
Timber for the building of frigates
Description
Secretary Hamilton informs Daniel Stevens that Tench Coxe, Commissioner of the Revenue, desires Stevens' agency on the business of procuring in the state of South Carolina certain kinds of timber for the building of frigates. Hamilton has directed the Treasurer to remit Stevens bills for $11,000. These bills are only to be used in proportion as the money may be wanted for actual disbursement; it may happen that the whole of the necessary timber will be procured in Georgia.
