Title
Posting of a Galley
Description
Refers to troops of Colonel Hamtramck with recognition of their correspondence. Refers also to General Wilkinson and his responsibilities. Although Hamilton continues to argue for sending the galley "Senator Ross" to the lower posts on the Mississippi River, he concedes that McHenry's decision for the boat to remain at Fort Massac has merit.
