Governour Trumbull to John Hancock

v2:1106

Lebanon, June 26, 1775.

SIR: I received your letter of the twentieth instant, enclosing the resolve of Congress of the nineteenth; the Governour, and Committee to assist him in the absence of the Assembly, came into a similar resolution the same day; orders were given, and your request answered. The remainder of Colonel Parsons' s Regiment are arrived in the camp near Boston, and apprehend Major-General Wooster, with seventeen hundred men, are at the place of their destination, near New-York. The harmony of our councils affords matter of rejoicing. May the Supreme Director of all events give wisdom, stability and union in our counsels, and success, and convince them who seek to deprive us of our happy privileges and just rights, that all their attempts are injurious and vain.

I am, with great truth and sincerity, Sir, your and the Honourable Congress' s most obedient and most humble servant,
JONATHAN TRUMBULL.

The Honourable John Hancock, Esq.
