Mr William Holmes, who lives on Todds Island near North Point, proposed to this Committee, that, for Six Pounds, he would give Intelligence up the Bay, and to this Town, when the Enemy were coming up the Bay, for one Year; that he will keep a Boat in constant Readiness for the Purpose, to run up the Bay, and will dispatch the Intelligence for the Town by Mr Roles, who lives near him on the Main, who shall be paid for his Trouble in Riding up to Town by the Committee ー
The Committee, on considering Mr Holmes's Proposals, agreed to lay the same before the Council of Safety ー
