The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

NEW YORK, July 21, 1774.

From a person in office of exports and imports in Boston, (one Murray) to his friend D. Ar. M'Neil in Carolina.

"Our Sons of Liberty, as you'll see by the papers, have at length procured for themselves a smart dose of correction, but they make faces and take it with a bad grace, which will not make the operation the gentler. Will your colony and others of the same stamp take warning by our discipline? If they do not, they will certainly come in for their share, now John Bull is roused.

The late feats here have had one good effect, to put government in mind of some, who dared to shew themselves in support of it, among others, your humble servant is like to come in for a small acknowledgement---about £100 per annum, in office of inspector of exports and imports, lately held by Thomas Erving, Esq; who is appointed receiver general for your province---the good of this office to me is, that it can be executed without taking me quite from my beloved amusement, this farm."
