Dear Patriots,

Now you’ve gone and done it!  All of Boston will suffer from the deeds of the Sons of Liberty (and some of their sons) at the Tea Party.  Did ye think King George would ignore 14,000 British pounds of ruined tea?  Now the port of Boston is closed until we pay for the tea, more Redcoats are arriving every day, and  the citizens of Boston can no longer meet as they please unless they have permission from the royal governor.  What a fine kettle of fish!  Ye must know this will effect our daily lives and trades.   Please let me know just how severe the impact is on your family because, in my misery, I need company.

Loyal to the crown,

Isabella
