GEN˙ HEATH TO MASSACHUSETTS COMMITTEE OF SAFETY.

Camp at Roxbury, June 30, 1775.

GENTLEMEN: A number of fire-arms were put under my care last winter, which were afterwards ordered to Worcester. The Committee of Safety, when sitting at Concord, gave me assurances that I should have a number of them for my Regiment, which I believe some of your Honours will remember. They are since disposed of, as I am informed, to Other Regiments. A number of good arms are now brought to camp; a number of my Regiment, which Lieutenant-Colonel Greaton can ascertain, have no arms. I therefore earnestly request that you would be pleased to give order for their being supplied from those now brought to camp.

I am, gentlemen, with great respect, your humble servant,

W˙ HEATH.

Honourable Committee of Safety.
