Court-Martial on Abraham Whipple, the Commander of the Columbus, May 6th

v6:553

JAMES WARREN TO MASSACHUSETTS COUNCIL.

Plymouth, May 22, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: I have, agreeable to the order of Court, purchased a sloop to observe the motions of the enemy and give intelligence. You may, if you please, call her the Swift. Captain Wigglesworth, the bearer of this, I have appointed to the command of her. He now waits on you for your orders, and to get some powder and other ammunition, and perhaps a few articles which cannot be obtained here. You will please to give him despatch, as I propose to have everything ready for him to go to sea as soon as he returns.

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

JAMES WARREN.
