From George Ross
Extracts and paraphrase: Parke Bernet sale catalogue, May 16, 1967, p. 40
<November 27, 1775: I am sending you, as president of the Pennsylvania
committee of safety, a copy of the minutes of the local
committee that relate to provincial arms, for which money is in
short supply. No public funds are available, and the workmen ask
to be paid for repairing the weapons.>
