George Ulmer To Henry Knox About Taking Suspect Settlers Prisoner 28 June 1801

Discusses financial matters involving the townspeople and the prisoners (likely in Maine). Mentions the new prisoners who were brought in for firing at the surveyors on 16 July [1800?]. Notes he and [Robert?] Houston examined the prisoners last evening and found two who were brought in by mistake; no evidence could be obtained from the two prisoners so they were released. Requests eight muskets and says he will begin surveying once again.
