New-York, June 30, 1775.
SIR: I do myself the honour to acquaint your respectable body, that late last evening I received some despatches containing matters of the first importance. They were accompanied by an order, the carrying of which into execution will require the aid of your body. I therefore wish to meet with a small Committee at any time and place, and the soonest possible, before whom I will lay such part of my orders as will become the subject of your consideration.
I am, Sir, with sentiments of respect and esteem, yours and the gentlemen of the Congress' s most obedient and humble servant,
Peter V. B. Livingston, esq., President of the New-York Provincial Congress.
