The Committee of Correspondence of the Colony of Connecticut concurred iu the recommendation which the Committee in New York had made, on the fourth of June, (The Committee of Correspondence of the General Assembly of New York to the Committee of Correspondence of the Colony of Connecticut, " New York, June 24, 1774 ; ") the General Assembly of Khode Island did so, on the fifteenth of June, (Journal of the General Asssmbly, June 15, 1774 -- Records of Rhode Island, vii., 246 ;) the General Court of Massachusetts did so on the seventeenth of June, (Jourvol of the House of Representatives, June, 1774;) and the City of Philadelphia, as above Btated, did so on the eighteenth of June.

It has suited the purposes of some to bring forward the doings of eighty-nine members of the dissolved House of BurgeBses of Virginia, assembled at the Raleigh Tavern, at Williamsburg, on the twenty-seventh of May, as a contestant for the honors of New York, in this matter; but that Meeting was held four days after the proposition had been made in New York ; and what it did was only to " recommend to the Com- " mittee of Correspondence that they communicate with the several Cor- " responding Committees, on the expediency of appointing Deputies from "the several Colonies of British Amerii-a, to meet in a General Con- " gross," etc , which was done on the following day, in which, however, nothing else was done than to solicit, from each Committee, its " senti- "ments on the subject." (Proceeding* of the Meeting, reprinted in the Boston Gazette of June 13, 1774, quoted by Frothingham, in his Rise of the Republic, 333.)
