Title
Use in the Fortifications and On Shipboaard
Description
Pickering expresses his disappointment that Mr. Francis declined receiving the ash [?] which could have been used in the fortifications as well as on ship board for working the great guns. He is apprehensive about receiving them in the public stores where they will take up more room than they are worth.
