Sir

Since the Information I sent you on Sunday [July 2], in regard to the Endeavours of the Rebels to procure Powder, I have advice that within these few Days they have received 37 half Barrels which was brought from New Haven in Conecticut, where it was imported from St Eustatia; they have made Application to the Continental Congress to Assist them, and have likewise employed Persons at Cascoe Bay, where they hope to import Ammunition; I think it proper to give you this notice that measures may be taken to prevent their Schemes.

I am with great Regard and Esteem ー Sir [&c.]
