Title
Regarding the Procurement of Bolts for Shipbuilding at Baltimore
Description
Pickering states that Mr. Francis will be asking Humphreys about the quantity of bolts [presumably for the building of a frigate] that must be sent to Baltimore. Comments that the contracted smiths may not lower their price; if this occurs, it will be necessary to obtain the needed bolts directly from the stores in Philadelphia.
