The document was written by the Precinct Clerk, John Cutter Jr., by order of the Committee. It is a notice requiring the collector of the northwest precinct of Cambridge, Enoch Wellington, to notify freeholders and inhabitants of the area as well as those of Charlestown, who are qualified to vote, to attend a town meeting. The meeting would take place at the meetinghouse on December 13th at 2pm. The tasks required for the meeting (numbered 1-3) were to choose a moderator for the meeting; to know if they will let the committee sell more pews in the meetinghouse to complete the repairs of that same meetinghouse; and to hear a motion from Thadeus Fiske respecting his settlement and salary. A response was required on or before the date for the meeting. The reverse contains a short response from Enoch Wellington that he has notified the proper parties. Dated December 13. |
