Fortifications in Alexandria and Annapolis

Description

Informs Secretary Knox that construction of the works at Annapolis are further along than those at Alexandria, despite the fact that the former was begun a month earlier. Also states that the materials he requested for Alexandria have not arrived yet, but he expects them any day. The crossway is finished, the ditches are all opened, and the palisades are begun.
