COPY OF LETTERS Sent to _Great-Britain_, by his Excellency _Thomas Hutchinson_, the Hon. _Andrew Oliver_, and several other Persons, BORN AND EDUCATED AMONG US. Which original Letters have been returned to _America_, and laid before the honorable House of Representatives of this Province. In which (_notwithstanding his Excellency’s Declaration to the House, that the Tendency and Design of them was not to subvert the Constitution, but rather to preserve it entire_) the judicious Reader will discover the fatal Source of the Confusion and Bloodshed in which this Province especially has been involved, and which threatned total Destruction to the Liberties of all _America_. _BOSTON_: Printed by EDES and GILL, in Queen-Street 1773. [Illustration] Letters, &c. _Boston, 18th June, 1768._ SIR, As you allow me the honour of your correspondence, I may not omit acquainting you with so remarkable an event as the withdraw of the commissioners of the customs and most of the other officers under them from the town on board the Romney, with an intent to remove from thence to the castle.
