JAY TO COLONEL WOODHULL. 37
is about 12 miles from the City. Each Galley had its
company and each company entertained with variety
of musick, &c, &c. We proceeded six or eight miles
down the River when the tide being spent and the
wind unfavorable, we backed about and with a fine
breeze returned, passed the City and landed six miles
above the town at a pretty little place called Parr's
Villa. It appears to have been the property of a gentleman of some taste—a garden, a walk, a summer
house, &c, much out of order and partly in ruins. I
wished you and a few select friends had been with me.
This idea, tho' amidst much noise and mirth, made me
much alone.
Adieu my beloved
I am most sincerely yours
John Jay.
Phila., 29 Sept., 1775.
JAY TO COL. WOODHULL, PRESIDENT NEW YORK PROVINCIAL CONGRESS.
Philadelphia, November 26, 1775.
Sir:
I have the honour of transmitting to you the
enclosed resolutions of Congress relative to the Island
of Bermuda.
We have not yet had the pleasure of hearing that
you had made a House, and are not without some
anxiety on that head. In a few days we shall write
you collectively, and should be glad frequently to be
informed of the State of the Province.
