Title
Urgent Need for Gun Stocks
Description
Ames repeats his request for gun stocks asserting that without a new supply, either stocking must soon stop or he will be forced to produce stocks that are not fit for service. He does not know what to do since the stocks that he has on hand are not seasoned and therefore not fit for use. The river is not yet open so if a hundred stocks could be sent to New Haven they would last until Hodgdon could send a supply to Hartford.
