Cambridge, 16th Novemr 1775.
Dear Sir,
I wrote you this Day by Express & informed you therein the great Necessity I was in for Ordnance Stores & Ammunition, & that I would send Henry Knox Esqr to New York, to procure there, as much as can be spared; from thence to proceed to you. That Gentleman will deliver you this Letter. I recommend him & the Business he gqes upon to your Attention. Should he find more Money than he carries with him necessary, you will please to supply him. I am, [&c.]
G. Washington.
