Letter from Governour Trumbull to General Schuyler

v4:190

Lebanon, December 5, 1775.

SIR: I have to acknowledge your two esteemed favours of the 10th and 18th of last month. The events therein announced are very interesting, and arguments of praise to the Supreme Director, and a termination of this affecting controversy between Great Britain and America, much to be wished for. The return of the troops taken at St˙ John' s, sent me, is enclosed. They are, by Congress, called down to Pennsylvania, which is agreeable to us in this Colony.

Wishing you health and future prosperity, I am, with great sincerity and regard, sir, your most obedient humble servant,

JONATHAN TRUMBULL.

Major-General Schuyler.
