Philadelphia. . .  Sir, I make no double but you have heard
that a great number of people were collected at the State-
House, on Saturday last, by causing muffled drums to beat
through the streets of the city, and by ringing the State-
House bell muffled, and by directing all enquirers to repair
to the State-House for information, and that after the
people were collected, a deputation was sent to me,
demanding my resignation of the office of Chief Distributor
of Stamps for this province . . . [17 lines, signed] John
Hughes.
