26 December 1786
Knox, Henry, 1750-1806
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Stephen Bruce
Written from the War Office, likely located in New York City in this period (also see GLC02437.03393 for a letter written on the same date from Knox in New York City). Explains that the Treasury Board has been, for some time, making plans for paying and acquiring supplies for the troops. They have generally agreed about the supplies they need, but not necessarily how they would execute the plans. Discusses some of the options with Bruce, a merchant in talks with the Treasury Board about obtaining the contract to supply the troops.
