I endeavour to Induce them to believe the truth which is that if Congress dont Immediately Interpose there will be a grate Effusion of Blood as soon as I return home ; and that if it should be so all the world will know at whose Dore it will be charged by all America ; not at the Dore of the Legislature of New-York state for they have done Every thing possible to prevent it and are vet with those people their Loyal Subjects who have sent me to Congress in their behalfe to have Congress Interpose now timely before any blood is spilt--and also the Legislature have repeatedly sent as a State for that purpose moreover Governor Clinton as the Head of that State and Political father of them Good people under his' Jurisdiction has also repeatedly sent to the same purpose ; all Earnestly praying both Seperately and Joyntly to Congress as to the Grate Council of all the States in the unity that they would be pleased in their Grate Goodness Justice and Wisdom to Interpose by their Prudent Resolves in the premises. .

Wherefore by this time I Conclude your Honour and the whole Legislature think it Strange, that Congress has done nothing all this fortnit in so important an affair ; all of whom I have asked the reason of the Delay say it is Impossible for Congress to take it up yet there is so much pressing business lying-before them prior to ours with Vermont they Could not possibly proceed upon: this.
