Philada May 6. 1775.
Dear Sir,

I arrived here last Night, and have the Pleasure to learn that there is the most perfect Unanimity throughout the Colonies; and that even N York, on whose Defection the Ministry so confidently rely’d, is as hearty and zealous as any of the rest. I have not yet had time to collect particulars of Information for you; and therefore the chief Intention of this Line is to introduce to you the Bearer Capt. Falconer, who is perfectly acquainted with the State of things here, and on whose Accounts you may depend. With great Esteem I am, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant
