Synopsis

Title: A letter to a friend : giving a concise, but just, representation of the hardships and sufferings the town of Boston is exposed to and must undergo in consequence of the late act of the British-Parliament [sic], which, by shutting up it's [sic] port, has put a fatal bar in the way of that commercial business on which it depended for it's [sic] support : shewing, at the same time, wherein this edict, however unintended, is powerfully adapted to promote the interest of all the American colonies and even of Boston itself in the end.
