consulted the gentlemen sent to Congress by the Convention of New-York, the same was agreed to as follows, to

hereunto annexed, this Committee are of opinion that no
further Fortifications ought to be erected at Martelaer' s
Rock, on the Hudson-River, and that a point of land at
Pooplopen' s Kill, on the said River, ought, without delay,
to be effectually fortified.
"Resolved, That it be recommended to the Convention,
or in their recess, the Committee of Safety of New-York,
to carry into execution the above Resolution.
