Document states each side wall will be 116 feet long and the ends will be 52 feet wide. Provides costs for 70,560 bricks, sand, boards, timber, and the labor to lay the bricks. The total comes to £179.9.0. Though dated in pencil with the year 1779, this document is apparently an enclosure for GLC02437.03152, a letter to Henry Knox from June 1785. The letter was accompanied by several estimates for buildings and construction projects at the Springfield armory. One of the enclosures described in that letter matches the title of this document.
