[Letter to the printer concerning the destroyed tea] Let
the destroyed tea be paid for, nay, let all the colonies on
the continent (the infant settlements of Georgia and
Nova-Scotia excepted) join in paying for it.----And to
prevent any time being spent about the proportion; let it be
paid for according to the estimate of inhabitants in Ames's
Almanack for 1756. Let all Revenue Acts be repealed; and if
the red dues belong to Parliament, may what the poet says
induce them for the present to lay it aside.
Such is the World's great harmony that springs
From order, union, full content of things.
Where small an great, where weak and mighty, made
To serve, not suffer, strengthen, not invade,
More powerful each, as needful to the rest,
And in proportion as it blesses, blest.
I am Mr. Printer, your humble servant Z.
Not a Massachusetts man, tho' an American.
