Whereas the Asia having quitted her station, and left the harbour, the navigation between this city and New-Jersey, by the Kills, is become quite safe; the troops upon Staten-Island and Bergen Neck, are to let all boats coming to New-York or returning to Jersey, to Pass and repass, without molestation.
Given at Head-quarters, in New-York, 14th of March [sic April], 1776. Horatio Gates, Adjutant General.
