Letter from NY to Boston

The New York committee that had been recently formed is advising Boston to form their own committee in turn. They express sorrow for Boston's predicament, but say that they can do little to help. In turn, they say, in a round about way, that they fully support and agree with the actions Boston took in deposing of the tea that they felt was being unfairly taxed. The committee of New York also apologizes for not taking any sort of direct action, claiming that they could come to no verdict on how best to go about doing so. They finish by restating their request for Boston to form a committee and to ally with the rest of the colonies.
