GENERAL WASHINGTON TO COLONEL WATERBURY.

New-York, May 13, 1776.

SIR: Governour Trumbull has been pleased to mention you to me as a proper person to succeed to the command of the regiment lately General Arnold' s. If you incline to engage in the service again, I should be obliged to you for signifying as much, in order that I may lay the matter before Congress for their approbation.

I am, sir, with great respect, your most obedient servant,

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

To Colonel David Waterbury, of Stamford.
