Title
Moderation of the Contractors for Massachusetts should be rewarded.
Description
"...I hesitate whether the invitation ought to extend to the contractors for Massachusetts. Their price is as low as it can well be. The position heretofore intended for three regiments is in Massachusetts and it seems just that the moderation of the contractors there should be rewarded by the enjoyment of the advantage. The competition of Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey may be excited with a view to the three regiments, which were intended to placed in the vicinity of Brunswick."
