[R. 5-75] [Committee of Safety to President of Congress.]
State of New Hampr. In Committee of Safety Novem' 23d 1776
Sir - The Inclosed copy of a vote nominating three Persons to the Honorable Congress for their approbation to be commissionated as Field officers for the Batallion ordered to be raised in New Hamp- shire for the Continental Service, thro' hurry of Business, and mis- take has been omitted to be Transmitted to Congress until now altho' about four Hundred of the Regiment has been raised & on Duty Two Months - They are now ordered by Gen1 Ward to Ticon- deroga, & therefore it becomes necessary the Regiment should be commissionated -
[Indorsed "Copy to Pres. Hancock."]

[R. 5-76]
[Petition relative to Fixed Prices for Goods, Nov. 26, 1776.]
State of the Massachusetts Bay - To the Honorable Council and House of Representatives of the State of New Hampshire in General Court assembled, and held at Exeter within & for said State of New Hampshire -
The Petition of a Convention of the Committees, or Agents of the several Towns of Billerica, Chelmsford, Andover, Dracutt, Dunstable, Tewksbury, Westford, Haverhill, and Methuen, in the State of the Massachusetts Bay : also of the Committees or Agents of the several Towns or Districts of Londonderry, Hampstead, Plaistow, Atkinson, Pelham, Dunstable, Merrimack, Bedford, Derryfield, Goffstown, Hollis, Mason, Raby, New Ipswich, Peterborough, Wilton, Lynds- borough, and Nottingham West, in the State of New Hampshire aforesaid ; and also of Mr Edward Jewett Agent in behalf (of a Con- vention of the Committees) of the several Towns of. Rindge, Morris- town, Bath, Landaff, Haverhill, Piermont, Hanover, Lebanon, Plain- field, Jaffrey, Cardigan, Canaan, Enfield, Cockermouth, Orford & Lyme, in the State of New Hampshire aforesaid, held at the House of Majr Joseph Varnum in Dracutt aforesaid November the 26th A. D. 1776 - Humbly sheweth - That notwithstanding the Association and sundry other Resolves & Recommendations of the Honorable Conti- nental american Congress by the Letter & spirit of which, and their
122
REVOLUTIONARY WAR ROLLS AND DOCUMENTS.
Proceedings in General, we apprehend they intended, that no unrea- sonable advantage should be taken in the Purchase or sale, either of foreign Commodities, the Produce of our Farms, or our own Manu- factures, but that all should be sold upon reasonable Terms. - And by their said Association did agree, and expressly determine that such as are Venders of Goods & Merchandize should sell at the rates they had been respectively accustomed to do, for twelve Months then last past. Many Persons in the States aforesaid, altogether disre- garding the said proceedings of Congress & the weal of these united States, from mercenary, or worse views, have augmented the Price of, by far the greater Part of the Necessaries of life to an enormous Degree, many Articles of which are more than double the usual Prices, they were respectively sold for, before the Commencement of the present unhappy war. - That some persons have been so lost to all virtue and Love of their Country, as to engross the most neces- sary, and salable Articles, purchasing them at retail Price, and imme- diately advancing, upon that retail Price, at least Cent pr Cent. thereby endeavoring to depreciate the value of our Paper Currency. That the Soldier and others not concerned in this unrighteous Com- merce, are groaning under their Burdens, & we fear cannot endure them much longer. That great Discontent, and uneasiness is already prevailing in many Parts of these states, on account of these detest- able Practices. That we are greatly alarmed lest Tumults, Disorders and even a Disunion & backwardness in, or a defection from the common cause of America will appear in many Places, and great Difficulties arise, in recruiting and supporting the american Army (upon the success of which under God we look for political salvation) unless some Method can be found out, and speedily applied, to relieve the oppressed & remidy those evils, the fatal consequences of which, are too numerous to be inserted, & too obvious to need men- tioning. - But not to trouble this Honorable Court with a long Detail of our Grievances, and the probable Consequences of Continuence, which must be founded upon Facts so notorious, that the observation and experience of each Day, would make it needless to mention. - Wherefore your Petitioners humbly pray this Honorable Court to take the Premises under Consideration, and to enact such Laws, and make such Provision, Regulations, as in their operation, may speedily & effectually, remidy the evils of which we so justly complain, or otherwise releive the Petitioners and others as in your wisdom and Prudence it shall seem Good. - And the Petitioners as in duty bound shall ever pray. -

[The following is recorded on the back of the foregoing document, in the handwriting of George King. - ED.]
Pursuant to the within vote the Committee of both Houses having met beg leave to report it as their Opinion that a Committee be ap- pointed forthwith to repair to the Massachusetts State & there con- sult with the Committee there appointed to bring in a Bill for the purpose within mentioned & that they make it their Business so to conduct matters that a general regulation may take place which may be suitable to the Circumstances of the four New Engld States, & that the Comee sent from hence be impowered to bring in a Bill as soon as may be.
[Instructions to Committee Sent to Providence, R. I.]
Exeter December 20th 1776
To Major General Nathaniel Folsom, The Honble Josiah Bartlett Esqr & Colonel Supply Clapp. -
-
Gent". The Council and Assembly of this State having been made acquainted, by Letters from Governor Cook of the State of Rhode Island that a considerable number of the Enemy are landed there, & requesting that a Committee may be sent from this State in conjunction with their Council of War to confer upon the expediency of raising an Army for their immediate defence, & in general to con- sult upon every Measure necessary to be taken for the support of the common Cause. -
The Council & Assembly of this State have appointed you Gentle- men for this purpose, & are desirous you will immediately tse off to Providence in order to effect it. --
It is impossible for us at this distance, & from the little knowledge we have of the Situation of affairs at Rhode Island, to give you par- ticular Instructions, relative to your conduct - In General, however, we would recommend that should it be found necessary, to raise an Army there, you do everything in your power to have the Soldiers inlisted for one year, unless sooner discharged by the Honble Conti- nental Congress, & that after their entrance into the Service they be under the direction of the Honble Continental Congress, to be by them removed to any other State for its defence - & and as that Honourable Body have apportioned the number of Men, which each State is to contribute for the common defence, we are content for the present that you give your consent, that the number of Men sent from hence, be to those of the other states as they have settled it. -
