v2:1050

This may certify, that we, the subscribers, do hereby ask your advice and assistance on the important matters that shall be laid before you by our worthy friend, Mr˙ Thomas Twining, relating to the great and intolerable difficulties between the Whigs and Tones in this Town. Although we are a minority, our number of zealous friends will, we hope, be thought sufficient to gain some notice. Mr˙ Twining is one whose veracity maybe be relied on; and if by this messenger we gain no relief, we see nothing but we must submit to the mercy of the Torres in this place.
