This folder contains two copies of a typescript of a petition dated September 21, 1775, that was copied from the Calendar New York Historical Manuscripts, Volume 1, p.152. The petition appeals to the Committee of Safety for the Province of New York. The document is a call to members of the community who know how to fight, in light of the tensions between the colonies and the motherland, to be prepared and should 'acquaint himself with military discipline.' They also call for a meeting at least once a week for three months and a field day for each battalion at least once a month to ensure that people are prepared in case of a war. The typist writes that this petition was signed by Benjamin Seixas and some fifteen other names
