Forwarding the Chickasaw Goods
Description
In addition to requesting a barrel of muscavado sugar, Major Isaac Craig notes that the Quartermaster General thought that it would be advisable to send the Chickasaw goods directly from Pittsburgh rather than routing them through Fort Washington. All the goods from the treaty have already been sent forward. $3000 is required to expedite the business at Presq'isle.
