Committee Chamber, Philadelphia, April 17, 1775.

Whereas, it is now under the consideration of the Committee to suspend all trade and intercourse with such Colonies as have not acceded to the Association of the Continental Congress; the Committee have therefore thought it proper to apprize their fellow-citizens of this matter, that they govern themselves accordingly, and avoid entering into any engagement with respect to such Colonies, from which they may be subjected to great inconveniences hereafter.

By order of the Committee:

JONATHAN B˙ SMITH, Secretary.
