Writes that he has noted Knox's previous letter, which indicates that artificers are working hard on wagons and tumbrils. However, At the same time, I am sorry to inform you, that, they will fall far short of your expectations, in this particular owing to the great portion of time which has been taken up, in making the necessary repairs of the carriages, of those Pieces, that were brought from Philadelphia, to this place, many of which were in a wretched state. Writes that he is chagrined to find that a Lieutenant Fisk has resigned to avoid a Court Martial. Adds that the bearer of the letter, Lieutenant Allen, wants to resign and Lamb has permitted it, because there is no arguing with, or reasoning down a man's feelings, when want stares him in the face. Lastly, is happy that Holland has recognized America's independence, and that Captain Barney from the Havanna has arrived with a large sum of money for the public. Sends his compliments to Mrs. Knox and Samuel Shaw, and adds that the men in the Corps present their compliments to Knox. On public service written on address leaf.

Written from Burlington, likely in New Jersey. Writes that he was informed by the Pay-Master that the Financier intended the officers should receive two months Pay, in certain Notes, payable on the 1st of August next. He and the other officers agreed that our receiving Pay of any kind in which the Soldiers do not share, will have a tendency, to sour their minds, still more, - and, may involve consequences not only fatal to those who command them, but the Public. Is ready to travel to New York state and hopes to stop in Poughkeepsie and convince the legislature there to recruit new soldiers and advance some money to those already in their employ. See GLC02437.01355 for Knox's response.

Writes that he has, pursuant to Knox's instructions, sent Captain [William] Stevens to Secretary at War [Benjamin] Lincoln with a section of a howitzer shell and a request that Lincoln order Mr. [John Jacob] Faesch to produce the number of shells Knox requested. Lamb also asked General Lincoln to give Captain Stevens an order to the Financier for enough money to defray his expences, but Lincoln said he did not need to go to the Financier until the shells were cast. Also relates that Captain Patten mentioned a machine in Springfield for cutting Elevating-Screws and asks Knox to order some for the French howitzers and have them sent from there to Fishkill. Asks Knox to send his regards to Mrs. Knox and to Samuel Shaw. A note appears under the address that reads Favor'd, per Capt. Lt. Thompson, presumably denoting that Thompson delivered the letter. On public service written on address leaf.

Comments that he only received Knox's most recent two letters the night before, which accounts for his late reply. Writes, I have (previous to your directions) made appreciation to the Qr. Mr. Genl.

In consequence of your Letter, of the 14th ultimo, I have ordered Mr. Frothingham, to move with the Conductors, as soon as possible. Sends compliments to Mrs. Knox and Samuel Shaw.
