COMMITTEE OF SAFETY TO SELECTMEN OF THE TOWNS OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE.
In Committee of Safety, January 31, 1776.
GENTLEMEN: We have received intelligence from our Delegates at Philadelphia, that if the numbers of all the people in each town are not speedily sent, we run the hazard of being doomed much beyond our proportion of the Continental expenses. As yours has not come to hand, we pray you to despatch it with speed, according to the request made last Fall. If you have sent, and it hath miscarried, we must entreat your sending again.
By order of the Committee: MESHECH WEARE.
P˙ S˙ Pray let the return be made on oath.
