Letter from Huntington, to a Gentleman in New-York

v1:453

Huntington, (on Long Island,) June 27, 1774.

As the opinion of every part of this Colony is requisite to form a general idea of the dispositions of the people, I think it of some advantage to the cause, that the earliest intelligence should be communicated, have therefore enclosed the Resolves of this town, copied verbatim from the original now in my hands, signed by Mr˙ Israel Wood, President, chosen Moderator.

The profound attention of the people, on the business of the day being opened, and the unanimity that prevailed in the passing of these Resolves, indicate a serious attachment to the cause, and a firmness of resolution to support it; for I am credibly informed that there never was so numerous a meeting, and not a dissenting voice or hand to every single Resolve. Tuesday next is the day appointed for holding a General Committee of the county, at the County Hall, to open a correspondence with the New-York Committee, &c.
