GENERAL WATERBURY TO GENERAL GATES.

Skenesborough, August 18, 1776.

DEAR GENERAL: I received yours of the 17th, with nineteen batteaus, which came safe to hand. The Massachusetts troops and tents were all sent forward before the arrival of the boats, but since the boats came to hand a number more tents have arrived, which I immediately forward by this conveyance.

Your Honour may depend I shall immediately forward the Bay troops and tents as fast as they arrive, according to orders; and am your Honour' s most obedient, humble servant,
DAVID WATERBURY, Jun.

To the Hon˙ Major-General Gates.
