PETER T˙ CURTENIUS TO NEW-YORK COMMITTEE OF SAFETY.

New-York, January 29, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: Agreeable to your desire, I have inquired about raven' s duck, and found some at Mr˙ Grant' s, for which he asks five pounds ten shillings per piece, which is forty-five shillings per piece higher than I gave for the same sort last Summer. Should be glad to have your orders how much to purchase, as Mr˙ Grant has had

an offer for the whole he has, which is about twenty-five pieces.

I am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant,

PETEr t˙ CURTENIUS.

To the Committee of Safety.

P˙ S˙ Enclosed is a calculation which Mr˙ Grant sent me, by which it appears it costs four pounds one shilling and six pence per piece.
