Title
Small Repairs of Musketry Contiguous to Cities
Description
Hodgdon believes that in times of peace small repairs to musketry at posts contiguous to cities should be made by private workmen. The wear on the muskets and cost of transportation to military repairmen would be greater than if the repairs were done privately.
