Letter from General Sullivan to the New-Hampshire Committee of Safety

v4:25

GENERAL SULLIVAN TO THE NEW-HAMPSHIRE COMMITTEE OF SAFETY.

Winter-Hill, November 30, 1775.

GENTLEMEN: Since I saw you last, I find that George Jaffrey, Esq˙, has assisted much in fixing the works to defend our harbour. That being the case, I am clearly of opinion that he ought not in justice to be deemed an enemy to his country, or treated as such. I therefore consent that he remain at his own house in Portsmouth, if agreeable to you; and am, gentlemen, with much respect, your most obedient servant, JOHN SULLIVAN.

Honourable Committee of Safety.
