To Colonel Daniel Moor of Bedford -
Worthy Sir We the subscribers inhabitants of several different towns in your Regiment who was Nominated and chosen for officers in the same ; Take this opportunity to make known to your Honour some of our grievances wherein we are Deprived of our Libertys.
About the 20th of August last we met at M' Kelleys innholder in Goffestown (which no Doubt S' you remember very well) in order to Chuse our field officers which we effected : and Chose Col John Stark Chief Co1. your self Lieu' Col one M' Gilman first Maj' Lieut Sam1 Caldwell Second Ditto which was all Returned to the Honorbl Con- gress for their Confirmation. But for wise ends they saw cause to seet Co1 Stark aside which made room for the advancement of all the rest of our choice which was done by said Congress : Lieu Caldwell onley excepted and seet aside : and others put in his place : that we never had any Consairn with, nor never Desins to have : Which Do- ings we look upon an imposition upon him, but moore so upon us (Pray wheres the Liberty so much talkd of now a days)

Therefore resolved : that if the said Caldwell (which was our Choice) is not put into the vacancy that was maid by the advanc- ment of the rest : we for our part shall Decline having any Consairn in said regiment under any other person thats put in that place :
Therefore s' we recommend it to you to use your influence to get our Choice established : and if done we your friends and humble Servt will serve cheerfully if required -
