Ordered, that a copy of the foregoing resolve and of that passed on Saturday and the three passed yesterday be made out, and that the President enclose them in a letter to the committee of correspondence for the town of Boston, being the sentiments of the Congress on the matters referred to them by the Committee in their letter of the 29th of September last.
