GENERAL WASHINGTON' S SECRETARY TO COLONEL BALDWIN.

Cambridge, December 20, 1775.

SIR: I am commanded by his Excellency to inform you that from the letter and proceedings of the Committee at Point-Shirley, respecting Mr˙ Wiber, he stands in a suspicious and unfriendly light. However, as he does not wish to put any one under rigorous confinement who does not deserve it, you and the Committee may consult together, and if it shall appear that he is a friend and can be trusted, you may permit his return to bring his family and others.

To Colonel Loammi Baldwin, Chelsea.
