COL. DAVID SMITH TO EDWARD WINSLOW, ESQ.
[From Executive Letter Book.]

Sunday, 27th July, 1777.

County, for you to move for an order to be issued to the Captain, to disarm all those persons who are ordered to depart this State, as I suspect they will endeavour to carry all the arms out they possibly can.

I am, Sir, Your H'ble Serv't.,
DAVID SMITH.
To Mr. Edward Winslow.
