A Letter from a Gentleman in Boston, to his Friend in the
Country.
Boston, July 2. I am now set down to fulfil the promise I
made to you some time ago, in case the Rev. Mr. Davenport
should make his appearance in this town, to send you some
account of him. He came to this town last Monday in the
afternoon, from Charlestown: He landed at New Boston (so
called) near the causeway; as soon as he landed, he and his
attendants, which were a rabble of men, women and children,
began to sing, and walked through the street singing till he
came to his lodgings.
. . . [Reaction of the residents]
