LORD STIRLING TO CAPTAIN LONGSTREET.

Elizabethtown, December 16,1775.

SIR: Your Lieutenant, Mr˙ Schenck, this moment informs me, that you are arrived at Amboy with part of your Company. I hope the rest will be there soon. Lawry, the Commissary, will take care to furnish your Company with provisions according to the orders of the Continental Congress, and will call on you on Monday, and will advance you such money as the incomplete state of your Company will admit of. You will mount a guard at the barracks, of a sergeant, a corporal, and twelve men, and keep your men as much within the barracks as possible.

STIRLING.

To Captain Longstreet.
