The following letter is taken from a Virginia Gazette.
To his Excellency William Tryon.
. . . [3 columns of political criticism]
Your pride has as often exposed you to ridicule as the rude
petulance of your disposition has to contempt. Your
solicitude about the title of Her Excellency for Mrs. Tryon,
and the arrogant reception you gave to a respectable company
at an entertainment of your own making, seated with your
lady by your side on elbow chairs, in the middle of a ball-
room, speak a littleness of mind, which, believe me, Sir,
when blended with the dignity and importance of your office,
render you truly ridiculous. . . .
[signed] Attacus.
