STEPHEN MOTLAN TO MAJOR HAWLEY.
Cambridge, January 24, 1776.
SIR: I have it in command from his Excellency to send you herewith a commission, for such person as you may think qualified to muster the regiment raising in Hampshire and Berkshire. As his appointment is for that particular purpose only, his Excellency is of opinion that you had better agree with him on the terms on which he is to execute this business, and then fill up the blank in the commission with his name. The form of a master-roll is, enclosed.
You are referred to the letter for the Committee of Safety for Northampton, which you will now receive, and is open for your perusal, relative to the pressed men under their care; also, to the restricting the officers to Northampton district.
There are, also, two letters, one for Mr. Stanhope, and one for Mr. Knight, which you will please to forward with the one for the Committee of Safety.
I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant,
STEPHEN MOYLAN.
