Title
Report on Manufacture and Store of Black Walnut Musket Stocks
Description
Reports the store's 3,288 black walnut musket stocks, and they should be receiving 1,000 every three weeks according to outstanding contracts, until by the end of April they should have 8,288 + stocks, with very few deductions to be used to supply national armories. They will not all be completely seasoned at that time. It will be easy to receive 1,000 stocks every 8 days. While he has no power to interfere with contracts, but is anxious to supply musket stocks equal to the whole number procured. Refers to 2,000 gun stocks deposited in Tench Francis's store not included in previous calculation.
