[Extract]
No Carolina, New Bern, Janry 26th 1775.
My Lord,
I have the honor to acquaint your Lordship that being detained at New York by repeated returns of illness and afterwards by disappointment of a vessel I had engaged to bring me hither until the season became too rigorous to hazard my return to my station on the uncertainty of a sea voyage at such a time of the year, I set out by Land on the 7th of December and arrived in this Province on the 9th instant and at this Town on the 15th . . .
In this Province as in all the others to the Northward Committees have been chosen by the people to carry into execution the measures of the General Congress.
