Robert Livingston and Peter Schuyler, having been summoned to a memorial service held upon the death of the Earl of Bellomont, travelled to New York where (with the absence of the Lieutenant Governor) the Council illegally invited Coll Smith to become President of the Council. This remonstrance is an apology for misreading the situation and for having acted so. Document signed by both Schuyler and Livingston.
