Salem, June 7, 1774. Last Thursday his Excellency Governor
Gage came to town from Boston, accompanied by a number of
gentlemen, of that place, in their carriages. His
Excellency was met on the rod by a large number of the
principal gentlemen of this place to Marblehead, and, with
many civil and military officers, formed a grand procession.
They entered the town about noon; and his Excellency being
escorted to Col. Brown's, there received the compliments of
a great number of gentlemen on his accession to the
government, with congratulations on his safe arrival.
The anniversary of his Majesty's birth, on Saturday last,
was observed here, by his Excellency and many other
gentlemen, with suitable demonstrations of the most
affectionate loyalty & joy. And last evening the gentlemen
of the town gave a most brilliant ball, at the Assembly
Room, on the same occasion; where his Excellency honoured
the company with his presence.
His Excellency the Governor resides at Danvers, about four
miles out of town, at the elegant country seat of the
Honourable Robert Hooper, Esq.
