Description
Enclosing resolutions of the House of Representatives; July or August suggested as time for a congress to meet, the place to be New York or Philadelphia; "the wise, spirited, and seasonable proceedings of Your truly patriotic House of Burgesses, in early proposing a Correspondence and Union of the Colonies has justly merited & universally received the Approbation and grateful Acknowledgments of British America -- And the manly, pious, and humane attention more lately manifested to the distresses of the town of Boston reflect equal honor on them as Men, as Patriots, & as Christians"; a post script tells of the day of fasting appointed by the Assembly and the contribution voted for the relief of Boston.
