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; which, by shutting up it's port, has put a fatal bar in the way of that commercial business on which it depended for it's 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. / By T.W. a Bostonian.
