Robert Cambridge Livingston To His Father Robert Livingston Regarding Advice To Sell Flour Quickly 29 May 1775

Robert Cambridge writes that he has sold the last of his flour, and explains: I thought it too dangerous to keep produce on hand at present it being most probable that a termination of our Commerce will take place about the middle of July and therefore I don't think it would be improper to send all the Flour you have by you down as soon as the Sloop returns. He also discusses the mounting tensions with Great Britain and notes, The manoeuvres of the Continental Congress are secret, but people imagine they are preparing or devising ways and means to carry on an opposition to parliament.
