GOV. CLINTON TO SAMUEL MINOTT

Camp in the Highlands June 7' 1779. Gent. :

Your Letter by Mr. Sherburne complaining of the violences "lately committed by Ethan Allen'& others upon the 'subjects 'of' this State in Cumberland County I have transmitted to Con- "gress and most earnestly pressed them for their immediate "jnterposition. By an' Express I am informed 'the business is "under consideration. As 'soon as I reeeive their final Determination, which I have reason to hope will be in a short time I shall immediately transmit it to you.

"The Legislature were to have met a few days after M'. Sherburne arrived which induced me to detain him, but' the Incursion of the enemy up the River has prevented their meeting for the present and obliged me to take the field with the Militia to oppose the Common Enemy. The moment the safety of the Country will admit of my Return J shall issue my Proclamation to convene the Legislature & shall lay this most important matter before them, when I trust such measures will be concerted as will most effectually tend to insure the Peace and Safety of ithe Good People in-your Part of the State. In the mean time
