Physical Description
A. L. S. Signed also, Gideon Hawley, Reuben Hawley, Jehiel Hawley, Alek Hawley, David Castle. Endorsed. 2 pp. 8o
Description
Allen informs the people of Clariden in general that when he returned from what they call the mob, he was concerned for their welfare, fearing lest the force of arms would urge them to purchase a title from New Hampshire at an unreasonable rate; if they incline to purchase that title, they ought to have it at a reasonable rate; he and the subscribed gentlemen are disposed to assist them in purchasing reasonably; should Col. Willard or any other person demand an exorbitant price for the land, the subscribers will assist them in mobbing him, for they mean to use force against oppression.
