Committee Chamber, New-York, Oct; 13, 1775.
Sir,
The Committee have taken into Consideration the Letter your Worship received from his Excellency Governor [William] Tryon, of this Date. From unquestionable authority, they are assured that the Provincial Congress have received no Order or Recommendation to seize his Excellency's Person, or the Persons of any of the other Officers of this Government.
It is with Pleasure, Sir, we can assure you, as far as we can judge, that his Excellency's Conduct has given general Satisfaction to our Fellow Citizens; and, confiding in his friendly disposition towards the Inhabitants of this Colony, it is our earnest Wish that He will continue to reside among us.
I am, with much Respect, Your Worship's [&c.]
By Order of the General Committee
Henry Remsen, Dep. Chairman.
