WILLIAM THOMPSON TO RICHARD DEVENS.

Stoughton, Tuesday morning, December 10th, 1776.

SIR: I set out yesterday at sunset and travelled here last night, and saw two of the Selectmen, who with the utmost readiness have procured a carriage to transport the powder to Attleborough. It is now ready to be loaded in the cart, and will be set out by ten o' clock this forenoon, in Mr˙ Blackman' s cart, (one of the Selectmen,) who goes with it himself with an armed guard. So doubt not it will have proper despatch and security. I shall set out before, and hope to see all at Attleborough this afternoon or evening.

I am, sir, your humble servant,

WM˙ THOMPSON.

Richard Devens, Esq.
