Summary
Encloses copies of New York legislature's resolutions concerning relief for the people of Rhode Island. The resolutions are to the effect that the surpluses in the granaries of New York state are barely adequate to feed the people and the army, and that much though they would like to relieve the distresses of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, they find that they cannot do so at the present.
