Abraham Clark to the New-York Congress

v2:931

Elizabethtown, New-Jersey, June 8, 1775.

SIR: You have now sent you six quarter casks and two half barrels of powder. The quarter casks I got at New-Brunsinck, and the two half barrels, containing one hundred and five pounds, I got at Woodbridge; for each of which I gave receipts that I received them to be forwarded to the Provincial Camp near Boston, agreeable to a requisition from them. There was no more to be obtained; they had sold the most of their stores to the inhabitants. You will be so kind as to send a receipt of the same tenour of those I gave, that I may show them the stores are forwarded agreeable to my promises. I am, Sir, your humble servant,

ABRAHAM CLARK,

To Peter V˙ B˙ Livingston, Esq.
