agree however in general to unite with the people of Boston and the

the Colonies, not to make any resistance to the Britains, but to keep
themselves independant, and refuse to receive their comodities, and
keep within themselves, their own more valuable comodities, because
they are for the support of life--So stedfast are the people here that

so much cut off that the owners think it best to mow it down for
