William Hooper provides a letter of introduction for a new member of the Continental Congress. "This will perhaps meet you in New York & be handed you there by Mr Wm Cummings a delegate from this state to Congress. He will be much at N York in the way of his appointment & sometimes perhaps at New Jersey in the way of Amusements. I take the liberty to ask your Attentions to him. This I do with full assurance when I say that he is my friend & a good man."
