20-27 Sep 1768:32 (1/9)
Petersham, Sept 20, 1768. After chusing a committee man
yesterday, to attend the Convention at Boston, the Sons of
Liberty here appointed this day to meet and dedicate a tree
to that most amiable Goddess, at 45 minutes past two
o'clock, P.M. . . [met at tree, cut off and burned 17
"useless" branches.] And a pile of condemned shingles being
instantly set on fire, the amputated branches were case
thereon and consum'd, while the well known Song of Liberty
was sung; . . . [scattered ashes, gave three cheers,
toasts.]
