JOHN STICKNSY, Town-Clerk.
This following is a Copy of the letter
Pelham, October 23d, 1786.
Gentlemen,
BY information from the General Court, they are determined to call all those
who appeared to stop the Court to condign punishment. Therefore I request you
to assemble your men together, to see that they are well armed and equipped
with sixty rounds each man, and to be ready to turn out at a minute's warning:
likewise to be properly organized with officers.
I am your most obedient, and shall ever serve,
DANIEL SHAYS."
