Abigail Adams to Joseph Warren, 13 May 1775

Braintree May 13 1775

Sir

A Brother of Mr. Adams–€™es who has been a Captain of a Company in this Town, is desirous of joining the Army provided he can obtain [a] Birth; he would prefer a Majors to any other. As he has not any acquaintance with any Gentleman in the Army, except Coll. Palmer, he requested me to write you a line, in his behalf; he is a person both of steadiness and probity, and if there should be any place open in the army wherein he could serve his Country, I believe he would discharge the Trust reposed in him to acceptance. Your intrest Sir in his favour, would oblige [both him?] 1 and his absent Brother, as well as your Humble Servant,
