PROCEEDINGS OF COMMITTEE FOR ARRANGING RANK OF OFFICERS OF NEW-YORK TROOPS, NOVEMBER 15 TO JANUARY 2, 1777


*Letter from Committee of Arrangement to General Schuyler, asking further information as to the qualifications of officers,*
ROBERT YATES TO GENERAL SCHUYLER. Fishkill, November 28th, 1776. SIR: The Committee of Arrangement have been informed by the members of Tryon County that Captain McKeen and his Lieutenants, Ebenezer French, Albert Vander Werke, and Gerrit Pottmom, instead of having discharged his company are still in service, and at the same time recommended those officers as well qualified to continue in service. Without relying, however, too much on recommendations which probably may be partial or interested, the Committee have directed me to apply to you for further information. If they are officers with qualifications such as Congress requires by their late resolves, the Committee will, without hesitation, place them on the present establishment; and the more so, as the County of Tryon may probably conceive that it has not been sufficiently noticed. The Committee, as soon as they can complete the arrangement, will furnish you with a copy. I have the honour to be, with the greatest esteem, sir, your most obedient, humble servant, ROB’T YATES, Chairman. ______________
