Certificate from the Committee of Goshen Precinct

v4:385

GENTLEMEN: We received your favour of the 23d inst˙, and, agreeably to your request, have immediately summoned our Precinct together, which, through some unhappy mistake of the County Committee, has not been notified to meet before, and have unanimously elected Peter Clowes and William Allison, Esqrs˙, as part of the Deputes for this County, and which was left by the other Precincts as our proportion of representation. We hope, gentlemen, that you will not refuse the gentlemen above-mentioned, their seats, since our County has fallen into the method of choosing their Deputies in the respective Precincts. Signed by the Inspectors of the election. By order of the Committee:

BENJAMIN TUSTEN,
BENJAMIN GALE,
DANIEL EVERETT.

To Mr˙ Robert Benson.

GOSHEN, November 27, 1775.
