EBENEZER DAYTON.
We, the subscribers, do most solemnly declare that the claims of the British Parliament to bind at their discretion the people of the United Colonies in America in all cases whatsoever, are, in our opinions, absurd, unjust, and tyrannical; and that the hostile attempts of their Fleets and Armies to enforce submission to those wicked and ridiculous claims ought to be resisted by arms; and therefore we do engage and associate, under all the ties which we respectively hold sacred, to defend by arms these United Colonies, against the said hostile attempts, agreeable to such laws or regulations as our representatives in the Congress or future General Assemblies of this Colony have or shall for that purpose make and establish.

Since our naming, I hear that Captain Hudson has signed, and most of Captain Lupton’s Company will. Captain Lupton has been down and signed. I likewise hear that the tories at Malaluck had a meeting and signed, or did something, but I fear they are all like Major Weekham, only to deceive. I should have written you a letter, but am in great haste, and have no paper, nor have time to go for any.
