Lebanon 6th September 1775
Sir
I have received no further intelligence concerning the Ships which infest our Coasts ー it is most probable they are not those your Excellency Notified to me. ー2
This afternoon received Intelligence from Mr [Nathaniel] Shaw of New London, That he had by Capt [George] Champlin who arrived and landed safe at New London last Evening3 about Three Tons of Powder for this Colony ー I have Ordered it to Norwich, excepting a present supply for our Armed Sloops. ー
Please to give me directions relative to such part thereof as may be thought fit to be spared for your Camp ー I have the Honor to be most respectfully Sir [&c.]
