Title
Correspondence Related to Charlesville Musket Patterns
Description
Wolcott expresses concern for promised Charlesville-pattern muskets. Refers to previous correspondence with Mchenry and with George Fleming, storekeeper at West Point. Fleming was disappointed in the inability to provide the right pattern, but believed that in 1793, 2000 patterns existed in Albany and 5000 at Springfield. Refers to correspondence with John Harris in Philadelphia and John Dexter in Rhode Island about musket patterns, sending others to Baltimore. Contractors depend on the public store for their supplies. It is Hodgdon's duty to provide supplies as promised.
