No. 15.

Sir. This Court has receiv'd information that the Mail from Providence to Newport, which contains Letters from the Post Office at Cambridge, was intercepted last week by a Man of War's boat in passing Conanicut ferry, and several of the Letters taken out ー Your Honor is sensible that it may be of the most dangerous consequence to have Letters from these parts fall into the hands of those who are seeking our destruction. ー We therefore request of your Honor that some order may be taken in your Government, that all Letters to or from the Post Office at Cambridge may be convey'd by Land through your Colony as far as it is practicable, and that none be allow'd to be sent over Conanicut ferry.

[Endorsed] Read & Accepted and sent up to the Hon. Board for Concurrence.
