MASSACHUSETTS COMMITTEE OF SAFETY TO NEW-YORK, COMMITTEE.

Cambridge, April 30, 1775.

It has been proposed to us to take possession of the Fortress at Ticonderoga. We have a just sense of the importance of that fortification, and the usefulness of those fine cannon, mortars, and field-pieces which are there; but we would not, even upon this emergency, infringe upon the rights of our sister Colony, New-York. But we have desired the gentleman, who carries this letter, to represent the matter to you, that you may give such orders as are agreeable to you.

We are, with the greatest respect, your most obedient servants,

JOSEPH WARREN, Chairman

To Alexander McDougall.
