LETTER OF PH. SCHUYLER.

Albany, April 29th, 1779. Dear Sir: -- Your Excellancy's Favor of the 24th Instant, I had the Honor to receive on the 27th. Yesterday I had a conference with General Clinton and Greneral Ten Broeck on the subject matter of your letter. The latter has promised to make use of every exertion to raise the quota his Brigade is to furnish. He will advise you of the difficulties he has to encounter and I really fear if he should be able to procure the whole number at least (which I have not much reason to believe he will) so much time will elapse that the troops now to the Northward, will be drawn away before any part are sent to take the posts they now occupy, except Captain Stockwell's Company.
