The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

On Saturday Morning last, a true Female Friend to American Liberty, presented Capt. M'Dougal with a fine Saddle of Venison, marked with the important No. 45, in Allusion to the 45th Page of the Votes and Proceedings of our House of Assembly, in which the Paper that furnished the Occasion for that Gentleman's Commitment is printed at length. The above mentioned small, tho' sincere Testimony of Approbation, afforded an agreeable Repast for himself and some of his Friends, in whose Sentiments, even a Gaol in Connection with a noble Struggle for Liberty, contains nothing horrible. Most People are of opinion, that his Case is similar to that of Mr. Wilkes, in Instances more important than the No. 45. and even in this Similarity, many think there is something providential. Capt. M'Dougall is so warmly espoused, that in the two first Days of his Confinement, he was visited as a true Son of Liberty, by upwards of two hundred of the Friends of American Liberty of all Ranks.

Mr. M'Dougall intending to devote a considerable Part of his Time to do Justice to the Public, in the Cause for which he is imprisoned, has notified his Friends, being many, that he will be glad of the Honor of their Company from 3 o'clock Afternoon till 6.
