Kingston, March 17, 1777.
Dear Sir:
We are to inform you, that Robert R. Livingston is, with us, a
committee appointed by Convention to correspond with you at Head
Quarters. You will give us pleasure in the information that His
Excellency is recovered from the illness which had seized him the day
before Messrs. Cuyler and Taylor left Head Quarters. Any occurrences in
the army which may have happened, you will please to communicate.
In answer to your letter to the Convention, of the sixth of March
instant, we are to inform you, that it is determined to permit that
company to join the Continental Army, for which you will take the
necessary steps. At the same time, you will take some notice of the
disposition of our guns, which, as you well know, are all in the
Continental service; and unless some little attention is paid to them,
we may, perhaps, never see them again.
We are, Sir,
Your most obed’t and humble servants,
Gouv. Morris,
Wm. Allison.
