Extract of another letter from Philadelphia dated June 2,
1774.  Yesterday we had a pause in the business of this city
[in honour of the Boston Port-bill] and a solemn pause
indeed it was, if we except the Friends, I believe nine
tenths of the citizens shut up their houses.  The bells were
rang muffled all the day, and the ships in the port had
their colours half hoisted.
