GOVERNOUR TRUMBULL TO COMMODORE HOPKINS.

Lebanon, October 3, 1776.

SIR: I wrote you day before yesterday on the plan for Naval operations, with an eye to what we had conversed upon, in relation to the same then mentioned. Last night received General Washington' s letter, and one from General Lincoln. Have conversed freely with our mutual good friend, Thaddeus Burr, Esq˙, and desired him to communicate any of my thoughts more fully than I have time by writing. Am putting every thing forward in the best manner. Please to promote the forwarding the whale-boats, and give me intelligence as you see fit.

Sir, your obedient, humble servant,

JONATHAN TRUMBULL.

To Commodore Hopkins.
