Title

Laying in Materials Before Winter Navigation is Stopped

Description

Cranch has informed Major Fleming that he could furnish bayonets and ramrods at the same price mentioned in Hodgdon's recent letter. If Hodgdon approves of this arrangement he should notify Cranch immediately so he can lay in the materials before navigation on the Hudson is blocked which will probably be in less than a month.
