Letter from General Sullivan to General Gates

v4:709

Winter-Hill, January 17, 1776.

DEAR SIR: I enclose you a letter from some gentlemen at Newburyport, for some cannon-shot, which beg you to lay before the General; and, if you please, inform him that there are a great number of those shot which I sent from New-Hampshire to Medford, which have never been called for, or taken into account. If it is agreeable to his Excellency, I will spare a part of those to the gentlemen, to enable them to fix out the privateer they are about; otherwise, shall not beg an answer per bearer, and am, sir, your very humble servant,

John Sullivan.

To General Gates.
