GENERAL THOMAS TO MASSACHUSETTS CONGRESS.

Roxbury Camp, June 27, 1775.

SIR: I have herewith enclosed a request from a number of prisoners now in Boston , which I received yesterday, P˙ M˙, by one of the Selectmen of Weymouth, to whom it was sent from Mr˙ Scholay, of Boston. It was carried to the Committee of Safety, and from them to General Ward, who sent it to me, but think it not proper to determine this matter without advice from the Congress, whose directions I shall comply with.

I am, Sir, your most obedient and very humble servant,
JOHN THOMAS.

To the Honourable James Warren, at Watertown.
