New York, August 29, 1776.
Sir: If it is possible, do keep a corps de reserve of the
Congress' s order for us. Mr˙ Samuel Broome is to go to
Connecticut this week for the purpose of procuring saltpetre;
but if none can be had, we shall want your friendly assistance. Perhaps a letter from you to Congress mentioning
the state of the case, would procure an order for the twelve
hundred weight of powder, which would answer the same
end. Nothing new this morning. Mr˙ Schenck carried a
letter for you to Harlem.
In haste, your very humble servant,
To Robert Livingston, Esq˙, at Harlem.
Letter from Ebenezer Hazard to Robert Livingston
