General Montgomery to New-York Congress

GENERAL MONTGOMERY TO NEW-YORK CONGRESS.

Albany, August 10, 1775.

SIR: The first division of the York Troops are arrived, but without powder; by accident it is in my power to

v3:81

furnish them. I beg that powder may be sent at the rate of a quarter of a pound per man, for the Troops destined for this route. As it is very improper they should march to Ticonderoga without it, I have been obliged to supply this division from a small reserve I had made for Tryon County, out of that which lately arrived from Philadelphia.

I am, Sir, with great respect, your most obedient servant,

RICHARD MONTGOMERY.
