[Resolved] That a copy of the letter from the convention of New York, dated at Fish Kill, 28 December last, be sent to General Washington; and that he be empowered to take such order in the several matters therein contained, as he shall think best; and that a letter be written to the said convention, informing them of what Congress has done in compliance with their several requests:

That it would much contribute to the Defence of Hudson's River, if the Frigates built on the same were fitted with Guns and other Necessaries, which would enable them to repulse any Ship or Vessel that might pass the Batteries erected on, and Obstructions which may be made in, the said River.

That so much of the letter from the convention of New York, as relates to the defence of Hudson's river, by means of the frigates or otherwise, be ref erred to the Marine Committee
