Printed document under Tench Coxe's name, but unsigned. This request for contractor proposals to supply black walnut gun stocks to the government was issued by Coxe as Purveyor of Public Supplies, an office he held 1803-1812. Asks that proposals contain the price and the number of stocks that can delivered in one, two, or three months. Will be paid cash after inspection. Date inferred from document. The form has a pre-printed date "180" with space for the last digit. I used Coxe's dates of service to get a rough estimate of the document's creation.
