General Washington to General Schuyler

v3:1569

Cambridge, November 16, 1775.

DEAR SIR: I wrote you this day by express, and informed you therein the great necessity I was in for ordnance stores and ammunition, and that I would send Henry Knox, Esq˙, to New-York, to procure there as much as can be spared; from thence to proceed to you. That gentleman will deliver you this letter. I recommend him, and the business he goes upon, to your attention. Should he find more money than he carries with him necessary, you will please to supply him.

I am, with great esteem, dear Sir, yours, &c˙,

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

To Major-General Schuyler, Northern Department.
