May it please your Excellency in due obedience to your Excellency's Command I herewith send you the Information of. Benjamin Buck and Jonathan White who are well acquainted with the behaviour of their neighbours and who's information may be depended on for trouth for I forced them in a manner ; not but that they were willing but they are afraid of the Mob's destroying all their property. ;
I would not be understood that I mean to draw your -Excellencys displeasure upon them, but I find that every act of indulgence which the Government offers is rejected with disdain ; and by the best Information I can get they are determined to oppose the authority of this Government assigning for reason that should they comply it will weaken their New Hampshire Title, and they shall lose all their Lands for this reason they shall Fight 'till they die ; however if this Benington was well drest I presume all the rest will fall of course and that the Government will be restored to peace.
