Title
Purchase of Thirty Pack Horses
Description
The clerk has received a letter from Major Craig in which he expresses the need to purchase thirty additional pack horses for the journey from Pittsburgh to Presq'Isle. Since no money has been received from Hodgdon, the clerk has borrowed money for that purpose with the promise of immediate re-payment. All of this has lead to the delay of the purchase.
