An important Document for raising troops for George Washington's Continental Army, 1 page, measuring 8.75" x 14", from Connecticut. Dated June 21, 1776, it is appointing "Jonah Gillet Pay-Master to his own Company, now to be raised, to join the Continental Army in New York." $3,000 is funded for the payment of troops. Docketed on the verso. Slight separation along the folds. The troops raised by this document were enlisted for six months.
