ROBERT H. HARRISON TO WILLIAM BARTLETT.

Cambridge, January 17, 1776.

SIR: I am to inform you, by command of his Excellency, that Archibald Templeton, James Crawford, Joseph Douglass, James Hamilton, and John McIver, who belonged to the ship Concord, Captain Laurie, have his permission to go on board our armed vessels.

You will please to observe, that his Excellency would not wish that too great a number of them should be in one vessel; for, though these men may be well disposed to serve us, it is only right to guard against accidents.

I am, &c.,

GENERAL SULLIVAN TO GENERAL GATES.

Winter.Hill, January 17, 1776.

DEAR SIR: I enclose you a letter from some gentlemen at Newburyport, for some cannon-shot, which beg you to lay before the General; and, if you please, inform him that there are a great number of those shot which I sent from New-Hampshire to Medford, which have never been called for, or taken into account. If it is agreeable to his Excellency, I will spare a part of those to the gentlemen, to enable them to fix out the privateer they are about; otherwise, shall not beg an answer per bearer, and am, sir, your very humble servant,

JOHN SULLIVAN.

To General Gates.

GENERAL SULLITAN TO THE GENERAL COURT OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE.

Winter-Hill, January 17, 1776.

I was favoured with your letter respecting the affair of Colonel Stark and Colonel Hobart, which I immediately laid before the General. He showed me your letter to him, with a copy of Colonel Hobart's to you; and a trial Would immediately have taken place, but Colonel Stark was gone into the country recruiting. He is now returned, and a Court of Inquiry will sit upon him to-morrow or next day.

You may depend that, notwithstanding I esteem Stark as a worthy, good officer, I will do every thing in my power to punish any insult be may have been guilty of offering to the Colony.

I repeatedly told Colonel Hobart, the evening after the affair happened, when I found him and Stark together, at my house, on my return from Head-Quarters, that I would confine Stark immediately, if he desired it, and even his whole regiment, if necessary; but he chose to omit it.

MESHECH WEARE TO GENERAL WASHINGTON.

Colony of New-Hampshire, Exeter, January 17, 1776.

SIR: Your Excellency's letter of the 13th instant, setting forth the difficulty of providing fire-arms for the Army, came to hand yesterday. The General Court, now sitting, immediately took the contents under consideration, and find-that all the publick arms of the Colony have been delivered out to the soldiers in the Continental Army, and at our garrisons in Portsmouth.

Upon a return lately made from the several towns in the Colony, we find that not more than two-thirds of the inhabitants capable of using arms are furnished therewith, and many of them such as would not be thought fit to be trusted to in the Continental Army.

The scarcity of workmen, as well as steel, has hitherto prevented our having any considerable number made in the Colony; for which reasons, together with the apparent need of our keeping a considerable body of troops to defend our seaport, brings us to the disagreeable necessity of informing your Excellency it is not In our power, at present, to supply any arms for the purpose you mention. We are fearful that the detention of the arms of the Militia, (now at the camp,) against their consent, will create such an uneasiness in their minds, that it would hinder their exerting themselves if called upon hereafter.

In consequence of a former request from your Excellency, we have procured one hundred and forty blankets, which we shall forward to the camp immediately; and if any more can be obtained, they shall be sent along without delay.

In behalf of the Council and Assembly, I am, with great esteem and respect, your Excellency's most humble servant,

MESHECH WEARE, President.

To His Excellency General Washington.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A CAPTAIN OF AN ENGLISH TRANSPORT TO HIS OWNERS, IN LONDON, DATED BOSTON, JANUARY 17, 1776.

I have the pleasure to acquaint you of my safe arrival here on the 1st instant, having had one continued storm of wind since my last letter to you, dated at sea, November 6th. The sea continually washed over us, and froze so excessively hard, that, had it not been for our musts, we might have been taken for an island of ice.

I was told that I might depend on meeting a good many cruisers at a distance from the land, who would conduct us safe into port; but I did not see ship or vessel for three weeks after I got over St. George's Bank, and my orders from the Admiralty forbade me to go into any port without first speaking with a King's ship, who was to conduct me into port, or inform me of a place of safety.

After being baffled about for three weeks, with only six men fit for duty, the rest being frost-bitten, or sick through fatigue, (having, besides, had the misfortune to lose one, washed overboard,) I made for the land, and got, as I judged, from my reckoning, within three leagues of Boston light-house, when, it coming on to blow a gale of wind, and meeting neither cruiser nor pilot, I was forced out to sea again, and continued in a storm, at sea, eight days more. I got in with the land again, with the wind at north, and, though thick, snowy weather, I stood in boldly, and made the light-house, and met one of the King's schooners, and asked for a pilot, but he could not spare one, as he was going on a cruise. Soon after, I got to an anchor in Nantasket Road, and found several King's ships, I believe ten sail, in all. To them I applied for a pilot; but they had none to spare, and were so weakly manned that they could give me no assistance. They told me there were many privateers out, well manned and armed, and that they were going to cruise for them; but, if they meet with any bad weather, as I have done, they are so badly manned they will make no hand of it.

At last I got a pilot from Boston, who tells me that a ship with ordnance stores is taken by the Rebels, and that, likewise, several coal and porter ships are taken, which I find, now, to be likely, for there are only eight sail, of the forty, arrived yet, and they had no force to resist.

They have not begun to unload us yet. We have split several of our sails, and the rest are much the worse for wear. All our running rigging is bad; our ropes cracked like glass, and we broke our maintopmast backstay; and all our rigging is much damaged.

I can see the Rebels' camp very plain, whose colours, a little while ago, were entirely red; but, on the receipt of
