Title
1500 Stands of Arms Shipped to Captain Fleming
Description
Houdin notes that he has shipped on board the sloop "Sukey and Peggy"--David Smith, master--1500 stands of arms agreeable to the order of Captain Fleming of West Point. He observes, however, that in spite of his attention to the matter, the arms may not be in as good a order as he received them because of the necerssity of employing journeymen for their care. Without Houdin's consent, Charles Webster has seen fit to insert in his newspaper a notification of this secret shipment.
