In Committee of Safety for the Colony of New-York,
July 24, 1775.
SIR: We have been honoured with your letter of the 19th instant, which informs us that you have an intimation that a quantity of gunpowder had lately arrived here. We are sorry to say, it is without foundation.
You may be assured, Sir, that should a quantity arrive, we shall be attentive to the wants of our brethren to the Eastward, and forward as much as possible that way.
We are, with great respect, Sir, your most obedient servants. By order of the Committee:
AB˙ BRASHER, Chairman pro tem.
To the Honourable John Hancock, esq˙, Philadelphia.
