Correspondence of the Provincial Congress, Provincial Convention, Committee of Safety, and Council of Safety

This is the body of correspondence, mostly incoming, generated by the Provincial Congress in the course of governing New York in the early years of the Revolution. The Congress received correspondence from other revolutionary bodies or other persons, including local committees concerning defense measures, raising troops, etc.; other Committees of Safety, such as that in Philadelphia headed by Benjamin Franklin; New York delegates to the Continental Congress; imprisoned loyalists or suspected loyalists or their families requesting relief; and Quakers who refused to provide names of men of military age.
