In Committee of Safety.

Philada., June 25th, 1776.

Sir,

This Committee think proper to inform you & the other Captains of the Galleys, that a respectable Publick Body, the Conference of Committees have issued the enclosed recommendation;² which we are disposed to acquiesce in from a desire to promote the Publick Good, which is the sole consideration by which the conduct of this Committee is now and always has been influenced.

You are therefore to repair forthwith before this Board to receive such instructions as may be judged necessary.
