- To the General Assembly or the Committee of Safety for New Hampshire--
- We produced to the inhabitants of this town in Town Meeting the paper proposed by the Committee of Safety to be signed by the inhabitants of this colony. Few, if any of the inhabitants were willing to engage, and promise as there proposed, to oppose by arms to the utmost of their power the hostile attempts of the British fleets and armies--As this seemed to the inhabitants plainly to imply somthing far more than any common enlistment into the service, ever engaging as soldiers directly and during the continuance of the war, as well as exerting ourselves faithfully when engaged; this at least, being within the Compass of our power. But it did not appear to the inhabitants prudent or necessary for any, or in any degree lawful for all thus to engage. The town directly adopted the form of association signed on this paper which they and we hope expresses all required by the General Congress.
