Copy, Henry Glen to Gov. M. Lewis. Went to Waterford for oars. Hadn’t enough. Bought what he could. Re: 100 boatmen he is to get. They demand $2 of (or?) 14/ per day to find themselves. Thinks he could offer them 12/ but musthave word from Lewis. A number of boatmen live up the river. Re: 10 wagons to be made at Schenectady. They can be made here to cost $130 a piece completely done. Six weeks to make them.
