[Philadelphia, December 15]
[Extract]
I was yesterday put upon a committee 2 that is to meet every evening at six o'clock, which may be obliged to sit regularly for ten days to come, and as I am considered a great absentee hitherto, I must attend constantly for awhile.
1. William Thompson Read, Life and Correspondence of George Read, a Signer of the Declaration of Independence (Philadelphia, 1870), 117.
2. The Marine Committee.
