To the Mayor, aldermen, and Common-council of the Borough of
Norfolk.
Gentlemen, I was an eye-witness to a party belonging to the
Otter sloop of war landing at the hour and place you
mention, and did see them bring off two of the servants
belonging to the printer. . . [21 lines] As to your not
repelling the insult, as you call it, or taking prisoners
the small party that was on shore, I impute it to some other
reasons (from your drums beating to arms during the greatest
part of the time that the party was on shore) than to your
peaceable intentions. . . [signed] Dunmore.
