New-York, Sept. 10, 1786.
Gentlemen:
Understanding, on our arrival in this city last Friday evening, that
you had gone on for the Convention at Annapolis the week past, we
take the liberty to acquaint you, and beg you to communicate to the
Convention, if it should be opened before we arrive there, that we
shall set off from this place to-morrow to join them, as Commissioners
from the State of Massachusetts, which we hope to do in the course of
this week. The Commissioners from Philadelphia were to sail from thence
for this city, on the seventh instant, so that they may be expected
soon after us.
With great respect,
Your most obedient humble servants,
Thomas Cushing.
F. T. H. Dana.
Saml. Breck.
The Gentlemen
Commissioners for New-York.
