Major Johnson to General Clinton

v3:1378

MAJOR JOHNSON TO GENERAL CLINTON.

December 23, 1776.

SIR: By orders of Colonel Ellison, I received two prisoners yesterday, as you will see by the enclosed. And as you are commander of that quarter, I think it proper to send them to you, with a guard, under the command of Captain Drake; and as I think them notoriously disaffected, by examination, I should be of opinion to have them well secured, and kept in close confinement until sent to Committee, as is in the enclosed directed. But if you should agree with my opinion, they should immediately be sent to the Provincial Congress of this State. So I remain your humble servant,

JOHANNES JOHNSON, First Major.

To Brigadier-General Clinton.
