Bedford County (Virginia) Committee

v2:1113

At a meeting of the Committee for the County of Bedford, the 27th day of June, 1775: The Committee being apprehensive that the inhabitants of the lower parts of this Colony may possibly (in the course of the present unhappy dispute between Great Britain and her American Colonies) be compelled to quit their habitations, wish it to be known to them, that the inhabitants of this County will cheerfully give them, and whatever they may think proper to remove among us, the most cordial reception, afford them every possible assistance, and that they shall freely participate of any thing we possess.

Ordered, That the Clerk of this Committee do transmit a copy of this Resolution to the printer, to be inserted in the Virginia Gazette.

ROBERT ALEXANDER, Clerk.
