"There is a Pamphlet handed about here, under the title of 'Importations from G. B. into the Port of Boston, from the first of January 1770; to which is added an account of all the goods that have been re-shipt from the above Port to G. B. since Jan. 1769. Boston printed in the Year 1770."
"I have not had an opportunity of examining whether the goods re-shipt do not amount to as much as the inadmissible goods imported; but I am told they do not by a great deal.— Indeed I should not be able to discover the difference if I had an opportunity, unless I knew what was admissible with you: but I think it would highly serve the cause at this time, if something was done in it."
"I am just returned from Philadelphia, where I had the pleasure to find my letter, similar to what came to you— well received, 'and that my honest countrymen were fixt as Fate.'"
"I hope we shall be able to preserve the Palladium of our existence inviolate, notwithstanding the treachery of some infernals."
