Mr. Watson,
Please to give the following a place iny6ur next.
THIS day the committee of infpedion for the
town of Killingworth convened together, and
after difeourfing on the present difficulty of the times,
came to this resolve, That it was looked upon by
this committee, as well as recommended by Mr.
Hazardof New-York, the duty of the several com
mittees in this colony to fix or appoint places in each
town, where the posts should take and receive let
ters where no poft-office is appointed, in order to
prevent those that are unfriendly to the common
cause from carrying into execution the many mif
cheifs that are ploted against this distressed land.
It is therefore resolved by this committee, That
the house of Samuel Shethar in said town shall
be the place appointed for all the posts and news car
riers to deliver a.nd receive all their letters at, for
said town. All persons as well posts as others are
defined to conform themselves thereunto, as they
would avoid the characters of being unfriendly to
their country ; the said Shethar being one of the
committee, and keeps a public house, it is looked up
on as ft proper place therefor.
Signed by order of said committee,
DANIEL REDFIELD, Committee-Clerk.
