To the Honourable Committee of Safety or General Assembly of the Colony of NEW-HAMPSHIRE:
As soon as ever we received your directions, requesting
us to desire all the males in this town to sign to a Declaration, (Lunaticks, &c., excepted,) in obedience thereto, we
immediately proceeded to give publick notice of your intentions, and otherwise, as we thought would have the most
effectual tendency to have put into execution, in order that
we might make a return by the Representative; but having
so short a time to accomplish the matter, in so great a town,
and being unwilling to omit anything relating to our duty,
and which might be for the benefit of the whole, we solemnly
deliberated upon the matter, asked the advice of our Representative, and others of safety and steadiness; and as we
were not limited to a certain time to make a return, we purpose to make one as soon as it may be done with conveniency; so rest your humble servants,
