PL.775.086
28 Oct 1775:23 (40)
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, together with his printing
utensils; . . . [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. . . [33 more lines, signed] Dunmore.
