GEORGE ROSS TO LANCASTER (PENNSYLVANIA) COMMITTEE.

Philadelphia, October 24, 1776.

GENTLEMEN: Pardon my once more writing to you on the subject of our publick affairs. I mean not to direct, trusting in the affection you have for the liberties of our country, which can never be safe but under a free and good government. Believe me that my first wish is that my country be free, and that in every station they please to place me, I will, to the best of my judgment, do my utmost to serve them.

Whatever may be the result of the determinations of the County of Lancaster, I wish they may be communicated with expedition to the neighbouring Counties. Accept of the affectionate regards of, gentlemen, your obliged humble servant,

GEO˙ ROSS.

To the honourable Committee of Lancaster County.
