THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, 1774-1783.

" lOth Day of May next ; and the neighbouring Col- " onies having already appointed Delegates for that " Purpose, we beg Leave to call your Attention to "that Subject, and to remark, that the Honour as " well as the Interest of the Province requires that " we also should be fully and properly represented.

" Influenced by these Considerations, this City " and County conceive it highly necessary that a " Provincial Convention should, without Delay, be " formed of Deputies from all the Counties, for the "sole Purpose of appointing, out of their Body, Dele- [ " gates for the next Congress, and therefore have " already chosen their Deputies : They prefer this " Mode to any other, as it tends to unite the Counties, " and to preserve that Harmony between them so " essential to the Interest of our common Cause.

" Be pleased to communicate this Letter to the " Inhabitants of your County; and should they con- ",cur with us in Sentiment, we beg they will consider, " whether it would not be best to choose their Depu- " ties so soon as tiiat they may be down here by the " 20th of April next ; which Day we take the Liberty " of proposing to you as 2>roper for the Meeting of " the Convention.
