Letter from Elisha Boudinot to Lord Stirling

v5:401

Newark, New-Jersey, March 18, 1776.

MY LORD: The bearer hereof, (Captain Wheeler,) with his company, waits On your Lordship, agreeable to your request, and begs the favour that you would review them before they go to their quarters, if possible. If they could be put upon duty by themselves, that their works might appear, it would raise their emulation to merit your Lordship' s approbation; and you would soon see the good effects of it.

I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship' s most obedient, humble servant,

ELISHA BOUDINOT.

To Lord Stirling, New-York.
