v5:989

ABHAHAM LIVINGSTON TO ISAAC ROOSEVELT AND OTHERS. New-York, April 19, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: I am under the necessity of applying to you for the performance, on your part, of the contract between us. I have, in consequence of that contract, furnished myself with considerable supplies for the troops; and as I do not furnish near enough to bear the expenses, I am now to inform you that I shall look to you for the damages I have and may sustain from the non-compliance of your agreement with me.

I am, gentlemen, your most humble servant,

ABRAHAM LIVINGSTON.

To Messrs˙ Isaac Roosevelt, Nathaniel Woodhull, Abraham Yates, Jun˙, Morris Graham, William Paulding.
