Watertown, August 21, 1775.
The following Letter was very privately sent from Falmouth, in Casco-Bay, to the late execrable Governour Hutchinson, and lately found among his papers. As some persons have been suspected of signing it, who are entirely innocent, it is now given to the publick, that such pernicious conduct may be chargeable on those only who are guilty of it:
Falmouth, February 10, 1774.
SIR: Being informed that your Excellency intends soon to embark for England, and fearing that certain resolves lately passed in a meeting of this Town, which your Excellency will probably soon see in print, may create
We further disapprove of the resolve acknowledging any obligations to Boston, for their conduct respecting the tea ships, and are determined to use our influence at the next annual March meeting to obtain a reconsideration of the said resolves.
Wishing your Excellency a prosperous voyage, we are, with the greatest respect, your Excellency' s most obedient humble servants,
M˙ PEARSON,
To His Excellency Thomas Hutchinson, Esq.

unfavourable impressions in your Excellency' s mind against the Town, we beg leave to inform you that many of us disapprove of all the proceedings of the said town-meeting, and all of us utterly dislike the indecent reflections on the Administration at home, the East-India Company, and in particular what is said respecting your Excellency.
