Letter written by Orr as an inventor and owner of a foundry to Davis as Quartermaster General of Boston. Says he is in possession of a cannon bore which belongs to the state and wants to return it. Claims it would be proper to give it to Davis. It weighs half a ton. Tries to downplay the cost of carting the bore, saying it is a fair price for the season.
