GENTLEMEN: After my regards to your Honours with freedom, whereas it is thought there will be a number of soldiers called for out of this Province for the assistance and defence of North America, for our privileges and liberties; I would inform your Honours that if occasion should call for a number, I am ready to serve your Honours in this Government and my Country, for the defence of our privileges and the enjoyment of liberty in America.

If your Honours should call for me, I am ready to serve my Country with all freedom and assistance that I am capable of; as I think it is the duty of all well-wishers to liberty and the North America. Wishing success to liberty, so I subscribe myself your well-wisher and humble servant,

TIMOTHY LADD.
