Title
Musket Stocks & Horses Unfit for Use, Etc.
Description
When Hodgdon examines the return from the Springfield Armory, he will find a large proportion of musket stocks unfit for use, some of them affected by the fire and others being shakey and warped. Williams asks Hodgdon to forward a number of gunstocks so that the factory can begin to produce seventeen muskets a day. Some of the public horses may be disposed of because they have proven vicious and unfit for use.
