To DEPUTY GOVERNOR WILLIAM BRADFORD5

[Note:Of Rhode Island.]

   Head Quarters, New Windsor, December 22, 1780.

    Sir: I have received the Proceedings of the Convention at Hartford, 6 which you did me the honor to inclose. It is but just to acknowledge, that I was much pleased with the salutary measures recommended, and cannot but flatter myself, if carried into execution, they will be attended with very happy consequences. I have the honor etc. 7
