Cannon Searcher to Providence

Description

The cannon searcher should be sent to Brown & Francis at Providence on a vessel bound for that place or for Providence. If neither is available, it can be transported via New York on a packet. It should be forwarded as soon as possible because Mr. D'Acosta needs it to examine the cannon cast by Brown & Francis.
