Title
Shot & Shells of All Sizes, Etc.
Description
Among other matters, Wilkins notes that shot and shells can be had locally at a price that will probably not exceed eighty dollars per ton. Bills No. 66, 77, and 78 have been drawn on Hodgdon for a total of $5150. In the past there have been errors in numbering bills so Wilkins will attempt to prevent future mistakes.
