Description:
Governor Francis Bernard, appointed by the British government, has dissolved The General Court, the colony's legislative body. A circular letter from the selectmen of Boston communicates to the various towns in Massachusetts the resolves of a town meeting held on 12 September, and requests that representatives be sent to a convention at Boston on 22 September, to consider what measures should be adopted to obtain redress of grievances against Great Britain. Nearly 100 towns will respond to this call. This copy was sent to the town of Stoughtonham (now Sharon), Massachusetts. [Boston, 1768]
