to be signed very generally by every Degree of the People here.—At
our Meeting, Copies of similar Resolutions, from some other Coun-
ties, were communicated; and a Meeting of Committees, from each
County, is appointed to be at Annapolis, the 2oth of next Month;
when, 'tis hoped, the Sentiments of the whole Province, will so well
coincide, that a general Resolution of Non-Importation, except as

Your County is earnestly intreated to consider the Importance of

Meeting.—Hoping, Sir, for your best Assistance, in promoting a
general Concurrence of the Inhabitants, in Resolutions preservative
of the common Liberty,

We are

Your most obedient Servants,
