R˙ McDONALD TO ALBANY COMMITTEE.

Albany, August 10, 1775.

GENTLEMEN: I am heartily sorry that I have to trouble you; these few lines will inform you of our situation at present. We are here as prisoners, and get nothing to support us. We think it a very hard case. We applied to the Commissary' s Clerk, who told us that he had nothing for us. We have fasted for some days, and therefore I hope that you will take it into consideration and get us some supply. If so be that you will not look into it, we must get it where we can come athwart it.

Gentlemen, your humble servant,

R˙ McDONALD, Sergeant 26th Regiment.

The Gentlemen Committee.
