Samuel Adams
It means a committee (group) set up to engage in correspondence (written communication, letter writing) with other groups. The committees of correspondence were bodies organized by the local colonial leaders of the Thirteen Colonies before and during the American Revolution for the purposes of coordinating written communication between separate cities and colonies.
The Committee of Correspondence Newsletter was created in 1961.
In 1772, Samuel Adams revived the Committee of Correspondence. Adams is one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He served as the Governor of Massachusetts from 1794 to 1797.
Boston's Committee of Correspondence was the first formal committee of its type, helping to coordinate responses against the British. Paul Revere took the lead of an intelligence group for this committee, and is well-known for his Midnight Ride, wherein he warned Concord of a movement by the British Army so that they could remove any military supplies and prevent the British from getting them.
