Letter from Rev. James Caldwell to William Paterson; Introducing Mr. Hackett

v2:595

Elizabethtown, September 29, 1776.

DEAR SIR: Permit me to use the freedom of introducing to your notice Mr˙ Hacket, who offers himself for the service of his country in this important crisis. I am fond of introducing, to the defence of the cause, our young natives of property and good connexions. This is his case; and I believe his military talents are as good as any of our untried youth. He carries letters to the Governour and some other gentlemen, and I don' t doubt will meet with what assistance you can reasonably give him; for which you will oblige, dear sir, your most obedient, humble servant,

JAMES CALDWELL.

To Hon˙ William Paterson.
