Be that as it may, for some reason, if more than four Towns in Westchester-county took any action whatever, in response to the Circular Letter of the Committee, concerning the political questions of that period, or for the appointment of Deputies to represent the County in the proposed Congress, or for any other purpose, the record of that action has escaped the notice of working historical students -- the proceedings of Mamaroneck were communicated directly to the Committee, at New York, in a letter dated on the seventh of August ; and those of Bedford were also communicated, directly to the same Committee, in a letter dated on the ninth of that month : 7 the proceedings of Eye and those of the Borough Town of Westchester, because of the respective opinions of those Towns, on other subjects, which were more fully and formally expressed, require more particular notice.

On the tenth of August, responsive to the Circular Letter from the Committee in New York, the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Eye, who sympathized with that Committee in its proposal that Westchestercounty should appoint Delegates to represent it in the proposed Congress, met and appointed John Thomas, Junior, Esq., James Horton, Junior, Esq., Eobert Bloomer, Zeno Carpenter, and Ebenezer Haviland, for " a Committee to consult and determine, with the " Committees of the other Towns and Districts within " the County," in County Convention, to be assembled at the Court-house, at the White Plains, on Monday, the twenty-second of August, " upon the ex- " pediency of sending one or more Delegates to the " Congress, to be held in Philadelphia, on the first " day of September next."^
