The Letters to the inhabitants of Canada were three letters written by the First and Second Continental Congresses in 1774, 1775, and 1776 to communicate directly with the population of the Province of Quebec, formerly the French province of Canada, which had no representative system at the time. Their purpose was to draw the large French-speaking population to the American revolutionary cause. This goal ultimately failed, and Quebec, along with the other northern provinces of British America, remained loyal to Britain. The only significant assistance that was gained was the recruitment of two regiments totalling not more than 1,000 men.

  • カナダ住民への手紙（英: Letters to the inhabitants of Canada）は、1774年から1776年の間に3度、当時のアメリカ植民地の代表である大陸会議から、ケベック植民地の住民に宛てて書かれた手紙である。手紙の目的はケベックにいる大勢のフランス語を話す住民をアメリカ独立派の側に付けることだった。この目的は結局果たされず、ケベックのみならず他の北方イギリス領アメリカの植民地はイギリス側に残った。唯一ケベック地方から得られた援助は、総計1,000名足らずの2個連隊を徴兵できたことだった。 (ja)
