Page "Elias Boudinot" Paragraph 13

In November 1777, the New Jersey legislature named Boudinot as one of their delegates to the Second Continental Congress.

His duties as Commissary prevented his attendance, so in May 1778 he resigned.

By early July he had been replaced and attended his first meeting of the Congress on July 7, 1778.

As a delegate, he still continued his concerns for the welfare of prisoners of war.

His first term ended that year.
