VIRGINIA COMMITTEE OF SAFETY.

Williamsburgh, October 19, 1775.

As the circumstances of the present times make it prudent to guard against the consequence of intelligence to the enemies of America, by means of certain evil disposed persons, who may travel through the Country for that purpose, the Committee of Safety do therefore earnestly recommend it to all Magistrates and other officers, civil and military, the members of the several Committees, and all others within this Colony, to be vigilant in examining all strangers and suspected persons whom they may find passing, and to stop such as do not give a proper account of their journey and employment.
