Committee to wait on the Council of Safety, respecting the advices from Virginia

v5:1518

The Committee then resumed the consideration of the Letter from the Council of Safety of Virginia, and thereon

Resolved, That Messrs˙ John Smith, Benjamin Nicholson, and John Sterrett, three of their Members, do wait on the Council of Safety at Annapolis, early to-morrow morning, with the packet directed to them, as they think it of too much importance to be trusted by a common express; and that they carry with them the Letters above referred to, in order to lay them before the Council of Safety, lest their packet might not contain the same intelligence; and that they take with them Mr˙ Jeremiah Townley Chase, one of the Committee, who is now at Annapolis.

Attested: GEORGE LUX, Secretary.
