Sir

By direction of this Congress I transmit you several resolutions which passed Yesterday ー the Importance of which you will readily see and the necessity of your immediate Attention to the execution of them ー The Alteration of the Sentiments of the Congress since your departure, relative to making an impression into Canada was occasioned by a letter they received from the Committee of Albany, a copy of which you have enclosedー

I have by order of Congress wrote to Governor [Jonathan] Trumbull upon the subject of Money & Ammunition, the Congress have directed you to make Application to him for which letter is forwarded by Express & you will please to give him as early notice as possible of what supplies of both you may have occasion for.

I have not time to add but to desire you will acknowledge the receipt of the resolutions ー I am Sir [&c.]

[P.S.] You will observe as much secrecy as the Nature of the Service will admit
