I have therefore thought it advisable to send those already tried to be confined in Livingston Goal, together with Cadwallader Coldon Esquire, wiho> stands charged with the like offense as will appear by the Examination of Jacob Davis taken before the Chairman of the Committee of Shawangonk and now transmitted to you by Lieutenant Rose, who has the care of the Prisoners. One of the Prisoners tells that Doctor Ansson and one Low was left behind their party in the Clove near Pysoryck at a little house there on Account of Low's being lame and the Doctor to take care of him. They ought in my opinion to be hunted up immediately. The Prisoners except Mr. Coldon, who are not yet tried, I mean to keep confined at this Place for Tryal. Mr. Coldon I have thought best to send forward as it might not be prudent to keep him confined at this Post for many Reasons. I am your Most Obed. Serv't, GEO. CLINTON. To the President of the Convention of the State of New York,

LETTER OF JAMES CLINTON.

Albany, May 28th, 1779. Sir, I have received yours of the 23rd Inst. General Tenbroeck hath ascertained the Quota which each Regiment is to furnish for the Continental and State Regiments, and Issued Orders for them to join in one week after the Orders were issued. I believe the General has endeavored to take every necessary step to supply the Deficiencies which yet remain, Tho from the unavoidable delays of the officers of his Brigade he hath met with much trouble, as I have seen I believe, every letter he has received on the subject. I have ordered Capt. McKean to command all the drafts of Tryon County, as I knew it was agreeable to all the Inhabitants of that part of the Country, tho I did not know at the time I appointed him for this service that you intended him to Command those drafts out of General Tenbroecks Brigade.
