Sir,
I am honored with your letter of the 29th January with its enclosure. The Resolutions of Congress, a Copy of which you favored me with was laid before the General Assembly of this
State at their Session in December last, who resolved that it was then unnecessary and improper to appoint Commissioners agreeable to the recommendation of Congress. However I shall lay your letter with the proceedings of the Commissioners before the Council of State and if they think proper to recommend the appointment of Commissioners for this State, I have no doubt they will attend at the time to which you have adjourned; if none attend you may take it for granted that there has not been any appointed.
