Letter to the Provincial Congress, enclosing the foregoing orders

Page v2:754

Voted, That the following Letter, signed by Benjamin Church, Junior, as Chairman of this Committee, be transmitted to Joseph Warren, Esq., President of the Congress, to be communicated, viz:

SIR: Conformable to order of Congress, the Committee of Safety, with the Council of War, have issued orders to the several Colonels, a copy of which we enclose you. Upon receiving the Return, those who have completed their Regiments will be commissioned, agreeably to the direction of Congress. Those who find it impracticable to fill their Companies, must be incorporated into other defective Regiments, which is the only plan the Committee find themselves able to suggest on this emergency; but should there finally be a deficiency, enlisting orders must be given to others. Yours, &c.
