Bill for Riding

This is a bill, sent to the Massachusetts House of Representatives by Paul Revere, for a series of rides that took place immediately following his famous “Midnight Ride,” as well as 1,000 impressions for soldier notes. Recognizable names like James Otis, John Adams, and Samuel Adams were among the representatives that agreed to pay Revere for his services.
