Note
"The treasurer of this state laid before the genl assembly two drafts from Congress ... in your favor for three hundred thousand dollars each, and at the same [time] represented that the treasury was destitute of money ...."
"... [T]he whole hath been found quite insufficient for the demands which we were under the necessity of answering within our own state, such as recruiting the army, providing cloathing, paying a small part of what we have agreed to pay our soldiers, for depreciation and other contingencies, that it is with great regret they find it impossible to pay your drafts."
Weare was the governor (then called president) of New Hampshire from 1776 to 1785.
Cuyler was the Deputy Commissary-General of Purchases during the war.
Pages [2]-[4] are blank.
