COMMITTEE OF BRUNSWICK TO THE BOSTON COMMITTEE OF CORRESPONDENCE.
Brunswick, May 3, 1775.
GENTLEMEN: We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, beg liberty to inform you with our situation, as we are chosen by this Town to examine into the circumstances of it; and finding the Town very deficient as to arms and ammunition, have sent by water to Salem, but have just had our money returned back, without arms or ammunition; and at present we have not more than a quarter of a pound of powder to a man, throughout the Town, nor more than one firelock to two men; and in this defenceless state we are obliged to apply to you to assist our trusty friend whom we have sent, which is Captain Nathaniel Larrabee; and as we think it would be unsafe to transport powder by water, we have ordered him to take only one hundred weight, and for him to consult with you how and in what way it would be safest to get arms and more powder down to us.
We should esteem it a favour to be informed by you by way of letter, at every convenient opportunity, of our publick affairs. We are, gentlemen, yours ever to be commanded,
AARON HINKLEY, BENJ. STONE, SAML. STANDWOOD, JAMES CURTIS.
