Huntington to Bowdoin Regarding the Insurgency

Copy Norwich, Febr^ry, 20^th: 1787

Sir
I am honoured with your Excellencys, favour of the
7^th Instant, & a copy of your letter of the 2^d Instant, but the
Original hath not been reciev^d.

I most Sincerely Congratulate your Excellency
on the Success of the wise & Spiritted measures that have
been adopted to extinguish the Insurrection in your
Commonwealth

Your Excellency may be assured, Should
any of those Insurgents Attempt to Secure themselves
from Justice by Seeking an Asylum, in this State they will Immediately
be apprehended & delivered up on being a agriably to the
Articles of Confederation

Should the Insurgents reassemble, nothing
will be wanting, on my part, to prevent in the most Effectant
manner their receiving being Supplied in this State with
provisions, Arms, or Military Stores, or having any
aid or Support of any kind whatever; and from
the best Information, I can obtain of the Sentiments
of the good people of this State, I am Satisfied they
very generally detest the lawless & violent Courses which
the Insurgents have taken

With the greatest Esteem & Respect
I have the Honour to be
Your Excellencys
Obedient humble Servt
S. Huntington

His Excellency Governour Bowdoin
