Page 2 has some nice content concerning the after effects of the Boston Tea Party, one report beginning: "All America is in a flame on account of the tea exportation. The New Yorkers, as well as the Bostonians and Philadelphians, are, it seems, determined that no tea shall be landed. They have published a paper...called the Alarm. It begins first with 'Dear Countrymen' & then goes on exhorting them to open their eyes and like sons of liberty throw off all connection with the tyrant their mother country..." with more (see).
This is followed by another letter which begins: "All is in confusion about the tea ships, and the Governor has now declared that he expects a ship with 400 chests of tea. The artillery have orders to make up ball cartridges, as have the troops. Yesterday orders were given for all soldiers to keep good flints in their firelocks..." with more (see).
Complete in eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
