Signature has been clipped. Informs Shepard that his endeavors to get payment for a note have been unsuccessful, as Colonel Pickering informs that he has not any funds for the notes of the time and that it is uncertain when he shall have them. He therefore has the mortifying necessity of enclosing the note to Captain Twogood [perhaps Captain William Toogood] rather than the money, but he hopes he can serve Shepard more successfully sometime in the future.

Has enclosed a copy of a letter (refer to GLC02437.03378) he received from Governor [James] Bowdoin. I would beg you to keep it to yourself, as I do the original. This does not mention it, but Major Shepard informs me that his Excellency wished me to write to you for permission to take one thousand or fifteen hundred Stands of arms from the Arsenal at Springfield, as well as ammunition adequate to the purpose, if they should be wanted in the decision of the question whether we are to have the satisfaction of living under a Constitution and fixed, permanent and known laws, or under the misrule of Anarchy. I suppose his Excellency will write you on the same subject, if he has not done it already. Asks also if he might be allowed to take some field pieces from Springfield. Public service written on address leaf with no signature.

Download Henry Knox to William Shepard about Arms and Stores, 21 January 1787 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Marked copy on docketing. Shepard's name spelled Sheppard. Thanks him for his recent letters. Writes that there has not yet been a Congress able to proceed to business. Hopes that they will be organized this week, and can discuss the request of the Governor before Congress. Relates that as he said before, it is entirely out of my power, to appropriate any of the public arms or stores without an order of Congress. This also applies to the sale or loan of arms or stores. He agrees in principle with Shepard and wishes he could accommodate him. However, if the insurgents should demonstrate an intention of seizing the arsenal or any of the stores contained therein and it could not otherwise be successfully defended, I am of opinion that propriety & necessity would justify the action of taking part of the stores and ammunition for the defence of the remainder to be returned the instant the danger should subside.
