Total 1030, including Field and Staff Officers.

The Minutemen, and those inlisted, and to be inlisted into the Continental service, to be taken from the above.

The Regiment is about two-thirds furnished with bayonets, and the others are getting them as fast as they can have them made. They are furnished with half a pound of powder, and two pounds of ball, per man; and a magazine in the Regiment is to furnish them with about as much more when it shall be wanted. They are pretty industrious in fixing their accoutrements, and I hope in a short time they will be tolerably well prepared.

WILLIAM FLOYD.

To the Honourable Provincial Congress, or Committee of Safety, of New-York.
