Committee of New-York to the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts

v2:344

New-York, April 19, 1775.

GENTLEMEN: The following very interesting accounts were this day received by the Snow General Johnson, Captain Dean, in thirty-one days from England. The writer is a person of undoubted veracity and has the best means of intelligence, who may be depended on, having for these twelve months always furnished the most certain advice of the Ministers' designs, &c. In consideration of which, and the present posture of affairs in America in general, but more particularly on account of the situation of your Province, and the consequences to which it is more immediately liable, it is thought an indispensable duty to give you this late advice. It is unfeignedly wished that you may improve it to your own safety, as well as to the advantages of the whole Continent. We have the honour to be, with great respect, your obedient servants,

HENRY REMSEN, Deputy Chairman.
