Boston, August 8. We hear that the week before last was
finished, by order and for the use of the gentlemen
belonging to the insurance office kept by Mr. Nathaniel
Barber, at the North-End, an elegant silver bowl, weighing
forty-five ounces, and holding forty-five jills. . .
[description of bowl dedicated to 92 members of the
Massachusetts House of Representatives, with symbols for
Wilkes, and using the number 45, then:] On Monday evening
last, the gentlemen belonging to the office made a genteel
entertainment, and invited a number of gentlemen of
distinction in the town, when 45 loyal toasts were drank,
and the whole concluded with a new song, the chorus of which
is In Freedom we're born, and in Freedom we'll live, &c.
