Mr. Jackson writes friom
Exeter, Tuesday Morn.g 6 o'clock.
D.r Sir:
I got here safe last night with my little Flock &
if it was the next most necessary thing would come to
you to-day, to confer upon placing you all together or
near each other, but I am hurrying home to dispatch a
Team I suppose is gone along and the most necessary
things I chose to have immediately gone, as we may reasonably expect an armed Ship with Requisitions severe
eno' to say no more of'eim. Marbleh'd had them made
to'emn on Saturday, & it is reported have submitted.
Salem expects the same Demand every moment & they
are moving w'th all precipitation, & we have no Reason
to expect less. As to the Armys they neither of'ell
have any Idea of giving way that I can find, but I believe
no capital Movement is soon to be looked for. Mrs.
Emery is confined to her Chamber. They asked for you
& expected you, & if you cannot find a comfortable Retirement, I would have you put along here & take up for
a few days at Folsoms; but by the Return of the Bearer,
if I can get one to you to-day, do write Hannah your
situation & whether she may be comfortable along side
you with her two children, Maid & black Girl & Boy &
her nurse soon. With my tender love to my Sister &
your little Folks & with a recommendation to you both
to keep your spirits good, I am D.r Sir,
Your affectionate Fr.d & Bro.r
J. Jackson.

(Endorsed) Jon.a Jackson & his Soil Ned's Letter, 1775.
Thursday MIorn.g Apr. 27.th 1775.
Dear Sir:
I fear you think I've quite forgot you but my
more urgent Necessitys have hitherto kept me other ways.
Hannah sent over her Boy last night to let mle know
where you were and how. I have sent one load of Goods
