The following letter is taken from the Public Advertiser,
Nov.2, 1768. To the printer, Sir, 
I am told many of our countrymen are greatly grieved at the
news from America; whereas I look upon the Boston Gazettes
as entertaining a farce as The Padlock--Remark only how it
sets out!. . . [25 more lines] One thing I love the
colonists for, and that is, they speak out.  They have beat
the drum, and openly declared themselves their own masters.
. . [32 more lines, signed] F.K.
