Boston. Extract of a letter from London, March 28.
[Several paragraphs on the King's actions to repeal the
Stamp Act] . . . We then went to the Queen's Head near St.
Paul's, and dined very elegantly; in the evening a number of
houses were illuminated, one in particular had 108 candles,
it being the first majority in the House of Commons for the
repeal of the Stamp-Act. Mr. ---- and ---- went to Bow
Church and set men to ring Bow Bells, and after staying with
them about an hour and a half, joined the merchants, about
100 of whom were at supper at the Half Moon in Cheap Side,
where the Committee of Merchants had a very grand
entertainment prepared; many loyal toasts were drank, and
the evening concluded with the greatest pleasure and
satisfaction.
