LETTER ADDRESSED TO GEO. DUDLEY, ESQ^R.,

_Enclosing 3 news papers and an advertisement, in the name of the
people, threatening vengeance on those who favored the tea scheme._

Sir:

The state and condition of the Hon'ble Company's tea in America is as
you will find in the enclosed papers. Unless the Tea Act is repealed,
no tea can be sold in America. Repeal the Act, and you may dispose of
