Letter from Robert H. Harrison to General Ward

v4:236

Cambridge, December 11, 1775.

SIR: I am commanded by his Excellency to enclose to your care the letter which you will herewith receive for the Committee at Symsbury. Should there be any of the Connecticut troops at Roxbury, which are going that way, and with whom the prisoners can be trusted, you will get them to take charge of them, as it will save some expense; but if you are of opinion that there will be the least risk of their getting away, you will send them off under a proper guard, with a copy of their sentence for the Committee.

I am, sir, yours, &c˙,

R˙ H˙ HARRISON, A˙ D˙ C.

To Major-General Ward.
