Greenwich, June 17th, 1775
Sirー
Your favour of the 15th instant in behalf of the Provincial Congress, with the enclosed order, I received yesterday morning, and immediately dispatched the requisition to the Governor, who, together with the council of war, are empowered by our Assembly to order the destination of the troops. I shall hold myself in readiness to march whenever I receive the Governor's orders.
I am, Sir [&c.]
David Wooster
