Joseph Trumbull to Governour Trumbull

v1:1077

Windham, December 30, 1774.

HONOURED SIR: It seems to be the universal opinion of all here, that a supply of Ammunition should be procured at the Colony' s expense as soon as possible — the sooner the better, as it is apprehended that if the Admiral carries his present plan of orders into execution, of stationing a small Vessel in every Harbour, Creek, and Bay along shore, that it will by-and-bye be next to impossible to obtain such supply. I have mentioned to Colonel Parsons Mr˙ Shaw' s being at Hartford, next Wednesday by noon, as possibly the Council may be glad to know from him in what manner, from where, &c˙, in his opinion, the supply may be best made.

JOSEPH TRUMBULL.

Governour Trumbull, Lebanon.
