[R. 5-94] [Letter from General Sullivan.]

To the Honourable the General Assembly of the State of New Hampshire ---

May it please your Honours since my arrival in this State I find that the Soldiers Already Enlisted for the Ensuing Campaign are Detained for want of Arms Cloathing &c. I well know the necessity of their Immediately Repairing to Tyconderoga & that Gen1 Wash- ington has given Express orders for their marching to that post to secure it against the attempts of the Enemy : as I know of no other way for Equiping them for their march I beg leave to Recommend to your Honours to make application to Colo Langdon for so many arms Blankets &c as will be Necessary to Equip your Troops for their march & that they be marched off as soon as possible, as Colº Lang- don has now in his Hands a sufficiency of those articles which arrived

in the last French Ship I make no Doubt of his Readiness to Com- ply with your Honours Request Especially when he Considers that if the affair should be delayed till order Can be Received from Con- gress this delay might in all probability prove the loss of that Impor- tant post without answering any one Valuable purpose as Congress must eventually order those articles into the Hands of the Troops who are now Destitute - I am Fully Sensible that Congress & the Commander in Chief will approve of the measure as Essencially Necessary - I am may it please your Honours with the Highest Sentiments of Gratitude & Respect your Honours most obedient Servant - John Sullivan

[Portsmouth. Petition Relative to Tories. Hibbard Collection, Vol. III. p. 181.]

To the Honorable Committee of Safety for the State of New Hampshire -

The Petition of sundry Inhabitants of the Town of Portsmouth, who are Zealous in the Grand Cause now in Contest with Great Brit- tain - Sheweth, That your Petitioners have for a long time waited with the greatest patience the result of the Honble General Court of this State - in full expectation of their adopting some mode of pro- ceedure against those abandon'd wretches well known by the name of Tories - who have too long infested this Town & State; but they tak- ing the advantage of the Lenity shown them, have continued repeat- edly to add Insult to Injury, 'till at length many have by the further instigation of the Devil been prompt on to Counterfeit & pass large Sums of Money, for which Enormity some have been apprehended and Committed to Goal ; and it is with great anxiety your Petitioners find as Notorious a Villian as either of them (if not more so

mitted to go at large with full liberty to Carry on his Business as usual, and in order to blind the Eyes of the Weak & Credulous, he has the impudence to publish a piece in vindication of his character, altho' proved one of the worst of Villains by his own Confession ; adding to this his chief accomplice has been permitted to escape from his Confinement & the hands of Justice through Bribery, Corruption & the assistance of his abettors - These evils, together with the In- telligence which is given & received to & from our open & avowed Enemies at New York &c. are Grievances of the highest magnitude, which if not speedily remidied will prove more fatal to our cause than can perhaps be at present conceiv'd of, and in order to effect which Remedy - your Petitioners with due submission would observe, cannot be better accomplished than in following the example of our Sister States (South Carolina in particular) by executing all vile Traitors - on being sufficiently proved as such, and Banishing all those persons who are well known to be disaffected to our Cause by providing chem with a Vessell & shipping them off, with liberty to proceed to any port in possession of the Enemy & no other. As the baseness of their Conduct latterly is such - that unless your Honors interpose in the matter, by prosecuting them with the utmost Rigour, it will be impossible to stay the hands of the well affected populace from putting the same propos'd punishment (if not worse) into Ex- ecution.

Orders from Congress, to proceed with all possible expedition - I take the liberty applying to you for authority to enlist a few men from the Forts and Garrisons of this harbour, whereby I may be enabled with the greater facility to complete my complement, and to fulfil the intentions of Congress, altho' I am persuaded that you will agree with me that no preference ought to be given where it hath not been merited by superiour abilities or superiour Services - I should have made an earlier application had I not waited the departure of the Raleigh.

I am with due Respect, Gentlemen,

Your most obedient, very humble Servant,

John Paul Jones.

State of New Hampshire - In Committee of Safety Septem' IIth 1777.

Sir The Committee lately sent to enquire into the State of the New Hampshire Troops in service, reported last night, that the Bat- talions in the Continental service who were at Ticonderoga are in a suffering condition, without any covering in the night time but the Canopy of Heaven, without Blankets, and almost Destitute of every kind of Clothing, that many have died, solely for want of Cloathing to cover them from the Inclemencies of the Weather. Therefore the Committee intreat you without any delay, to send forward by the nearest and most Convenient Roads to the Northern Army near Albany, what Cloathing you have got made up for the New Hamp- shire Battallions, they are in the greatest Distress for shirts, which will induce you to send all you possibly can. Your Compliance (which we doubt not) will greatly serve the public cause and in par- ticular the New Hampshire Troops.

I am sir your very Humble Sert

Sir - Your favor of IIth inst I duly received, I must beg your (& the Honble Committee's) pardon for not answering it in course - it was intirely owing to the hurry of Business -

I have wrote the Clothier General some time past respecting the Cloathing being forwarded to the army with all dispatch and daily expect his answer - however you may rest assured that they shall be sent on the next week ensuing, whether I hear from him or not, as the situation of our Troops realy gives me great anxiety of mind, which I heartily wish to have removed -

State of New Hampshire- To the honble the Council & House of Representatives for the state aforesaid -

The petition of the subscribers humbly sheweth - That they have been confined in the public goal in Exeter for upwards of four Months, & their characters have greatly suffered, from the inhuman tongues of malicious persons, who delight in the Misfortunes & miseries of their fellow Men, and think they engraciate themselves into the Favor of Government, & also cover their own crimes by falsely & wickedly exclaiming against others, maliciously augmenting every Failure of human Nature into crimes most horrible & aston- ishing, slightly passing over or rather wholly neglecting every thing which Justice demands should be produced in their Favors, & in reality are laudable & praise worthy, taking unreasonably the advan- tage of all times, places & dispositions of people to do them hurt, & relate every thing with airs of Horror & consequence which if they were properly weighed with the Circumstances which then attended would turn out less than Nothing. having by such evidences our characters entirely ruined, (as by our treatment appears) and as we are fully assured that under such Circumstances we can neither be serviceable to the state we live in, nor to ourselves, & having it wholly out of our power (being confined) to retrieve our Characters by any good actions, or to prove by future good Conduct & other evidences our Innocency, & that we have undeservedly suffered the pains of imprisonment, (tho' very severe) yet but trifling when com- pared with the loss of our Characters) under such very unhappy Circumstances, and despairing of any Relief in any way but by transportation, we earnestly pray that we may forthwith be convey'd to some other part of the Earth, & thereby rid this state of any

further Fears & apprehensions from us, as internal enemies & us from the pains of imprisonment, we earnestly pray that we may forthwith know the place of our Destination, the time of our Depart- ure & the terms upon which we are to depart, all which are humbly submitted & your humble petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray -
