| Citation | PL.775.083 21 Oct 1775:22 (39) Extract of a letter from Norfolk, October 1. Yesterday came on shore about 15 of the King's soldiers, and marched up to the printing office, out of which they took all the types and part of the press, and carried them on board the ship Elibeck, in presence, I suppose, of between two and three hundred spectators, without meeting with the least molestation; and upon the drums beating up and down the town, there were only about 35 men to arms. . . |
