[Lebanon] Thursday 24th August 1775
A letter received from Messrs. [Titus] Hosmer, [Ezekiel] Williams and [Giles] Hall, about the armed brig fitting at Middletown &c., containing a nomination of sundry persons for officers &c., and proposing that the bearer, [William] Warner (going to Providence) may inlist a gunner there, as they cant obtain one, and also sailors, &c. It is agreed that he may do so, if not disagreeable to Gov. [Nicholas] Cooke, to whom the Gov. is desired to write by said Warner, proposing it to him &c., which was done.
