Orford, New-Hampshire, September 12, 1775.

Last Thursday began their march from Haverhill, Coos, Colonel Timothy Bedell, with his three Companies of Rangers, in order to join General Schuyler in his expedition against St. John' s, &c. Also marched, at the same time, part of a Company under the command of Captain Veal, who is one of the Green Mountain Boys, enlisted by Lieutenants Allen and Scalley; said Company consisted of men from these parts. Likewise marched this day an Independent Company of Volunteers, under the command of Major Israel Curtis, of Hanover, which he raised on hearing that troops were wanted to go to the westward; they were enlisted, equipped themselves, and marched in three days. This shows their warm zeal for their Country' s defence.
