HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN: It being generally reported that a number of warlike vessels are to be fitted for sea for the protection of our trade, likewise to take, seize, and destroy, all enemies to the liberties of America, as it is not doubted but that a number of gentlemen will make applications to your Honours, we beg leave to recommend Mr. John Lambert, a gentleman who has followed the seas for fourteen years past, whose character in private life has been unexceptionable, and his publick conduct merits the esteem of all the friends to America.
We are your Honours' most obedient, humble servants,

GENERAL SULLIVAN TO NEW-HAMPSHIRE ASSEMBLY.
Winter-Hill, January 26, 1776.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HONOURS: I have this day had the pleasure of seeing the worthy gentlemen you were pleased to appoint as a Committee. They relieved me much, when they informed me that you had voted to advance the money for the new regiment, and that you approved of my plan for raising it, which, by information received before, I thought was not the case. 1 had not time before, nor have I even now, to assign alt the reasons for such an attempt, one weighty reason was, that all the new troops that come in are bound to pay a tax to the climate by sickness; this the present Militia have gone through, and, therefore, will much better endure the severities of the next campaign. I hope to have a great part of the regiment from those, but lest a deficiency should happen, I obtained leave to furlough some officers for the purpose of inlisting some in the country.
I have now no doubt upon my mind about the completing the regiment by the time, since you have been kind enough to advance the month's pay. This money, I entreat you, to put into the hands of Major Coffin, that he may forward it to Waldron and Chesley, as soon as possible, and I will be answerable for the disbursements after the regiment is on the ground. Shall send you a list of the men and officers, and beg you to grant the commissions, and in this and every other matter shall cheerfully acquiesce in your determination, and exert myself to obey any of your commands.
