Some late acts of Congress and of the Legislature of Massachusetts, render it impossible for you to come out from New-York, either by the way of Jersey or any of the neighboring places. The only possible one in which you can return to your friends, will be by going in a flag to Rhode Island, and thence applying to the authority of Massachusetts for leave to proceed to Boston. Or, on your arrival at Rhode Island, you might immediately repair to Boston and present yourself to the Governor. I wish you could come out in a manner that would be more agreeable to you - but there is no alternative.
