NEW-YORK CONGRESS TO MASSACHUSETTS COMMITTEE OF SAFETY.

In Provincial Congress, New-York,

May 26, 1775.

BRETHREN: Having received a minute of the Grand Continental Congress, of which we send you a copy herewith, we wrote a letter to the Governour and Company of the Colony of Connecticut, of which we also send you a copy.

We do not doubt of your ready concurrence in the

v2:712

measures recommended by that august body, in which we do entirely acquiesce.

We pray you to act on this occasion with prudence and expedition, especially as we have received intimation from our brethren in Connecticut that they cannot send a sufficient force for the purposes mentioned to them in our letter; and we beg leave to assure you that we are affectionately your friends and brethren in the generous cause of freedom.

We are, gentlemen, your humble servants,

P˙V˙B˙ LIVINGSTON, President.

To Joseph Warren, Esq˙, and others, the Committee of Safety for the Colony of Massachusetts-Bay.
