[No˙ 6.] His Majesty' s Ship Rose, November 16, 1775.

GENTLEMEN: I have received yours of the 16th instant. It is perfectly agreeable to me to take the provisions from any person you choose to appoint. The greatest care shall be taken to preserve the truce on our side; for which reason our men shall not be permitted to enter the Town, unless the Rebels enter, and oblige us for the King' s service.

I am, &c˙, JAMES WALLACE.

To the Inhabitants of the Town of Newport.
