New Hampshire Rev. War Recruitment Broadside.
<B>New Hampshire Revolutionary War Recruitment Broadside.</B></I> One page, 8.25" x 12", New Hampshire, June 13, 1782. An exceedingly rare official Revolutionary War era imprint issued from the State of New Hampshire House of Representatives that is signed in print by "John Dudley - Speaker, M. Weare - President, and Joseph Peason - Deputy Secretary." This is a one-page Broadside "Resolve" that refers to the recruitment of men from the State of New Hampshire to serve in the Continental Army, and reads: "Resolved THAT the time of returning the Extents issued by the Treasurer of this State, agreeably to a late Act of the Assembly, for the Money, for the deficient Men to fill up the Continental Battalions, be prolonged to the Thirtieth Day of July next, and in Case any Town or Towns so deficient, shall produce to the Sheriff a Certificate from the Muster-Master of their having furnished and caused to be mustered any Man or Men, for the said Continental Battalions, on or before the fifteenth Day of July next, shall be allowed by said Sheriff sixty Pounds for every Man so mustered." The document is in fine condition, with scattered age-toning, irregular margins (likely trimmed), and moderate edge damage. The document has had some minor restoration in the past.
