Resolved, That Colonel Joseph Henshaw be appointed and directed to repair to Hartford, and inquire whether provision is made by the General Assembly of the Colony of Connecticut for securing and maintaining the fortress of Ticonderoga and the adjacent posts; and if that Assembly has made provision for that purpose, the said Colonel Henshaw proceed directly to Ticonderoga and acquaint Colonel [Benedict] Arnold that it is the order of this Congress that he return, and render accounts of his expences in that expedition, in order that he may be honourably discharged; but if Colonel Henshaw shall find that such provision is not made, and the General Assembly not sitting, that he proceed to Ticonderoga, and inform Colonel Arnold that it is the order of this Congress that he continue there with such a number of forces as said Colonel Henshaw shall judge necessary for the purpose. Nevertheless, if the said Colonel Henshaw shall find the General Assembly sitting, and have not made such provision, that he consult with them touching this important matter, and take their proposals, and immediately make report to the Congress of this Colony.
