This day part of
[the] Standing Committee met to consider the resolve of the town of Boston,
sent here by express, but as they were uncertain what the Provinces of
Maryland, Virginia, and Carolina would do, they appointed a suitable answer to
be wrote back to New York and Boston, and at [the] same time wrote to other
Provinces to know their minds on this alarming occasion, which was sent by
express, and (they) wait till its return. The same day arrived the ship
Prosperity, Captain McCulloch, from Belfast in twenty-eight days, with four
hundred and
fifty passengers.
