Summary
A report that a letter written by Secretary of War General Henry Knox in 1791 to Lancaster's General Edward Hand had been obtained by the Lancaster County Historical Society. The letter was about some buildings owned by Franklin College that had been used to store government supplies. Knox was telling Hand that there was not yet a federal facility to move the supplies to, so he asked Hand to make other arrangements if the College needed the buildings or to rent the buildings if required. The text of the letter is included in the article.
