Hartford, September 23. Last Wednesday afternoon, a large
company of able-bodied men, came to town (on horseback) from
the eastern part of this government, and informed those who
were willing to join them, that they were on their way to
New-Haven, to demand the Stamp Officer of this Colony to
resign his office--. . . [59 lines, describing how his
resignation was obtained, and including a copy of it]
Since I have no other course,
But is as bad t' attempt, or worse;
He that complies against his will,
Is of his own opinion still,
Which he m' adhere to, yet disown,
For reasons to himself best known. Hud.)
. . . [8 lines]
