Letter from William Hildreth to the Massachusetts Council

v5:467

MAJOR HILDRETH TO MASSACHUSETTS COUNCIL.

Dracut, March 22, 1776.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HONOURS: I am sensible of the honour done me by your Honours' appointing me a First Major in the Seventh Regiment in the County of Middlesex; but the consciousness of my being unqualified and unequal to that important post, will, I hope, excuse my declining it. I therefore have enclosed the commission to your Honours, and pray your Honours to appoint some other person in my place.

I remain your Honours' most obedient humble servant,

WILLIAM HILDRETH.

To the Honourable Council of the Massachusetts-Bay.
