Report of the Committee

v2:1435

The Committee appointed to consider by what means the Army before Boston may be effectually and most expeditiously strengthened, beg leave to report, in part, that they judge it absolutely necessary that the eight companies stationed in the County of Plymouth, belonging partly to General Thomas' s Regiment, and partly to Col˙ Cotton' s Regiment, be immediately ordered to join the Army as soon as possible, and that directions be immediately given to General Ward for that purpose.

JOSEPH HAWLEY, per order.
