A Request for Horseman's Pistols, Etc.
Description
While discussing many other matters, Houdin notes that he has furnished Major Peters and Major Kersey with tents and other articles he is sure they will need as they proceed on their journey. He has asked Captain Fleming for a pair of horseman's pistols but Fleming told him that he could not furnish them without an order from Hodgdon.
