Knox writes to Quartermaster Hodgdon, stating "You will have cleaned One Thousand muskets and bayonets, not of the Charlotville manufacture, and have them packed in chests proper for transportation- Also twenty five barrels of musket powder, and a proportion of lead, and one thousand powder horns- I suppose an estimate must be made for the lead..."
