trespass has been committed on private property in consequence of the Resolves of your
town. Restore to the sufferers the most ample compensation for the injury they have
received—convince your enemies that their property is secure in every Port on the
British Continent—Convince them that you do not regard the value of the article
destroyed—that you only deny the right of taxation. Let not the annals of your history
be sullied by a refusal—pay for the tea—it will rejoice your friends—it will convince
your adversaries that the cause you are attach'd to is a righteous and just cause.
Convince them that you regard honesty as much as liberty, and that you detest
libertinism and licentiousness. . . .”
