Title
A Thousand Gunstocks and More Iron
Description
Ames reports that he needs a thousand gunstocks but they should be inspected prior to being shipped. He already has a number of stocks that are knotty and so shakey that they are spoiled for use. Part of the iron sent from Philadelphia was unfit for use so at the rate it is being used, there will soon be a need for more. The iron purchased from Mr. Rockwell at $8 per hundred is all good.
