JOHN MURRAY TO SAMUEL A˙ OTIS.

Winnissimmet Ferry, December 13th, 1776.

SIR: At the instance of Captain Paul Reed, the bearer of this, I write you on this scrap, that he and his brother David are my neighbours, and men of good reputation. That I know they were the sole owners of the brig Rosanna when I left Booth-Bay; that she was then unrigged and hauled up a creek in Booth-Bay, to avoid the hands of the enemy; that the said David then proposed sending her to

the West-Indies as soon as his brother returned from sea, and I never heard of the property of s;iid brig being altered, either in whole or part; and I do not believe it ever has.

I am, with great respect, sir, your most humble servant,

JNO˙ MURRAY.

To Samuel A˙ Otis, Esq˙, at the honourable the Board of War.
