[Hillsborough] Tuesday August 29th 1775
Whereas some doubts may arise respecting the Construction of the fourth Article of the Continental Association relating to Exportation.
Resolved that it is the opinion of this Congress that no ship or vessel shall clear out, or take on Board any part of their Cargoes after the tenth day of September 1775; but that vessels actually laden or their Cargoes on Board lighters, and cleared out before that day, may sail at any time after.
