Title
Manufacturing Muskets
Description
Secretary Wolcott acknowledges William Henry's letter offering to fabricate [manufacture] muskets for the use of the United States but contracts for that purpose have already been made. Since it is probable that some contractors may fail to meet their obligations, an order for 500 muskets will be issued provided they meet specific standards and are delivered promptly.
