Meeting of Importers

v1:328

Committee Chamber, New-York, October 5, 1774.

The Committee of Correspondence, having taken into consideration the present dissatisfaction prevailing in the city on account of the advance upon several articles imported from Great Britain, and foreseeing that these discontents will be likely to increase, when a non-importation agreement shall have taken place, have judged it necessary to request a meeting of all the Importers at the Exchange, on Friday morning next, at 11 o' clock, to consider and determine upon such a plan as will be best likely to remedy these inconveniences.

By order of the Committee,

HENRY REMSEN, Chairman.
