Hond Sir

In compliance with the desire of a Number of members of the Committees of Correspondence, and Inspection for this Town, I enclose you a Copy of the Vote Passed by them yesterday. ² The Committee have done all in their Power to stop Said Vessel, referred to in the Vote, & have had repeated assurances that she should not Sail without Liberty. But as she has Sailed; Thought it a Duty incumbent on them to Give information of it to the Honble House, That if any thing further was necessary, They might give Such Order thereon as to them should in their Wisdom seem best. Mr [Stephen] Nye is a Member of our Commttee & to him I beg leave to refer you for a more particular account of the Conduct of the owners relative to their Sending away the Vessell. I am Hond Sir [&c.]
