New-York, June 6, 1775.

GENTLEMEN: As we have ever been heartily attached to the cause of our Country, so we are now ready to engage in the defence of its rights; and as we understand Troops are soon to be raised in this Province, we think it a duty incumbent on us to offer our service.

Should you think proper to confide in us, and appoint us, respectively, to the command of a company, we shall study to conduct ourselves in such a manner as to merit your approbation.

We are, with the greatest respect, gentlemen, your most humble servants,
