Captain John Lamb to New-York Congress

v2:1140

New-York, June 30, 1775.

SIR: As there is no appointment of a Second Lieutenant in the arrangement of the Artillery Company proposed to be under my command, I take the liberty to recommend the bearer, Martin Johnson, as a proper person to be appointed to that station. Captain McDougall will shew you the arrangement for the Artillery Company which lately went from Rhode-Island to the Massachusetts-Bay; from which you will see the propriety of such an appointment. It will likewise be proper to appoint a Lieutenant Fireworker; but I do not at present know a proper person to recommend.

I am, with the greatest respect, Sir, your most humble servant,
JOHN LAMB.

To Peter V˙ B˙ Livingston, Esq.
