"You have no doubt heard of our unexpected retreat from Ticonderoga and Mount Independence…I can't or won't pretend to say perhaps it was for the best to evacuate both places, there was tis’ true, a very formidable fleet & land Army approaching us and [they] were making Batteries on all Quarters especially levell’d against Ty [Ticonderoga] that in all probability we could not lived on that side any time, whether or not we might have stood a seige some time on the Mount Im not alone to determine. Their force its true was far superior to ours, their Mettle [sic] heavier & their strength by sea or water very considerable."
He then gives details of abandoning Ticonderoga, crossing and cutting the bridge between Ticonderoga and Mount Independence, then being shelled by the British as they were leaving "the Mount".

Burgoyne treated his son very kindly while with him and has sent him home into our camp with a flag". Finally, Reid talks of their current camp where "Genl. Nixon’s Brigade is arrived to our assistance"and "…we hear Genl. [John] Sullivan is on his way to join us"and "…Genl. [Benedict] Arnold arrived here yesterday, for what purpose I can’t yet tell…" Condition is Fine but with multiple tape repairs along split folds.

Soon afterward he was ordered by Brigadier General Philip Schuyler to depart from Charlestown, New Hampshire to reinforce the Continental Army at Saratoga, N.Y. He refused and instead led his men to meet the Hessians at the Battle of Bennington. Before engaging the Hessian troops, Stark prepared his men to fight to the death, shouting, "There are your enemies…They are ours, or this night Molly Stark sleeps a widow!" In 1809 he was invited to a reunion of Bennington veterans. He replied in a letter that he was not well enough to travel and closed with the words, "Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils." In 1945 "Live free or die" became the New Hampshire state motto.
