GENERAL WASHINGTON TO GOVERNOUR TRUMBULL.

New-York, April 20, 1776.

SIR: By the returns just delivered me of the state of our ammunition, I find we are greatly deficient in the article of ball; and as I understand a large quantity of lead has been manufactured at Middletown, in your Government, I must beg the favour of you to forward as much as you can spare to me, as soon as possible.

I am, very respectfully, sir, your most obedient servant,

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

To Governour Trumbull.
