I do not wish to alarm you, but tensions here in Boston are rising by the day. In my last letter I
told you of the death of a young apprentice, Christopher Seider. Preparations for his funeral are
now underway, and many people in Boston have strong feelings about the incident. I have
heard several people call Christopher a
since his life was sacrificed in support of
the Patriot cause. I must decide if I agree. It is a lot to think about.
My work does not provide me with much distraction, as Master Edes is busy printing
information about the funeral. He printed a
to give to people at the funeral, with
Patriot opinions and essays about the current state of affairs with Britain. Perhaps it will move
the people of Boston to take further action.
