Title
Discussion of Proposed Military Storehouse & Laboratory; Forwarded Recommendation for Marine Officer's Post
Description
Adams says he has only one possible objection to the proposed military campus (laboratory, powder house and warehouses) outside of Philadelphia: that the government is moving to the new city of Washington within the next year. Leaves this potential problem to McHenry's judgment; also forwards a recommendation of an officer for the Marine Corps.
