TranscriptExtract of a letter from a field officer at Boston,
to his friend in the county of Louth, dated at
Boston, Dec.11, 1774.
"...There is now no arbiter left to decide the
difference between England and America but the sword;
that all America are in actual arms; they have turned
out of office all the King's Judges, Officers, &c. &c.
are all raising forces fast; have fortified the town
of Worster; and have sent General Gage word, that if
all the acts of parliament made against America since
the year 1763, are not immediately repealed, they will
declare war against England...."
