I entered in the Continental Service May th 6 1777, in Colo. James Leving. ston's Regtm. and served till the 18 of August 1779, and I wold flatter my self that I am entiteled to the Depretiation of the Money after his Honour wold be Properly informed.

General Clinton Predicts Disaster on Our Frontier Unless Provisions Are Supplied to the Troops.

Albany, March 29th 1781.

Sir, I am again Reduced to the Disagreable necessity of Informing your Excellency, that the Distresses which the Troops under my Command experience for want of Provisions as represented in my letter of the 27th ult., still exists, and as the small supplies we had then to depend upon are now exhausted, I have been already oblidged for want of Provisions to issue orders to withdraw to Sarahtoga the Troops stationed at Fort Edward, and I am hourly under apprehensions that the Remaining Different Posts occupied for the Defence of the Frontiers of this State, will be abandoned and the Country left open to the Ravages of the Enemy, unless some means can be imediately taken to furnish them with subsistance. I am, Sir, your most obed't Serv't

His Excell'cy Gov'r Clinton.

James Clinton.

The Legislature Brings the Provision Proposition to Washington. Albany, March 30th 1781.

Sir, We do ourselves the honor to inclose your Excellency copy of a message from His Excellency, Governor Clinton, with copy of the letter referred to therein; could the legislature have afforded immediate relief or was there the least prospect of procuring any provisions of the meat kind in time to prevent the evil should not have troubled you on the occasion. But altho we have empowered our state agent to draw on our treasury for money to make purchases of beef, yet he cannot derive any advantage from it, as the treasury is entirely destitute of money; nor is there the least prospect that any will come in until a new State currency which we have directed to be issued can be prepared for emission, and, that we cannot reasonably expect to be, in less than two months; we are, therefore, im pelled by the Irresistable force of necessity again to intreat your Excellency's Intervention and beg that orders may be given for a continued supply; for should the troops be under the necessity of abandoning the posts they now occupy they will be instantly followed by the remaining Inhabitants, occasion unspeakable distress to them, be productive of a very prejudicial Influence on the minds of the people; afford an advantage to the Enemy and be extensively detrimental [to] the army and the states in general. The alarming prospect before us can only apoligyze for this Intrusion, and we are persuaded it will be a sufficient one with a gentleman who feels so sensibly for every part of the country.

His Exc'cy Genl. Washington.
