Falmouth April 26, 1775.

GENTLEMEN: At this alarming and dangerous time, we find our stock of Powder greatly deficient; therefore have sent some money by the bearers to purchase where they can find it; and if they cannot get any this side of Cambridge, have desired them to wait upon you for advice, presuming that you can direct them where it may be had.

We rely on your conduct, under God, in our righteous cause, for deliverance from our present calamities, and are, gentlemen, your most obedient humble servants,

ENOCH FREEMAN,
BENJAMIN MUSSEY,
JOHN BRACKETT,
WM˙ OWEN,

Selectmen of Falmouth.

P˙ S˙ The bearers are Captain Joseph McLellan and Captain Joseph Noyes.
