of the Council of Safety, 1775-76. 121


enough to put to repaired muskets are to be had in town I
wish youd send up about 60£ to purchase them Mr Beatty my
Brother or myself will do it if you please. Price tells me he
gained an acquaintance with one Royston at the Camp of the
Artillary, who was a very clever young man & desires to come
to the south and from Prices account of him he would be very
serviceable in our second artillery Compy & he would be well
satisfied with a first Lieutenancy I wish if there's still room
that he may be prefered to it, a trifling circumstance prevented
his coming with Price and he even talked of following him.
Majr Price writes to him that troops are raising in this prov-
ince & that it is likely he will be employed which he says he
dare say will bring him with a strong recommendation from
Genl Gates to whom he is well known.
