Summary- Circular Letter of the Boston Committee of Correspondence, 1774

----I am very unsure of who is writing this document, but they are writing in response to Boston's mistreatment and the cruel and unjust conditions. They are showing their concern and seem to be hasty in the way they are writing. The Act of the British Parliament sounds to me like a negative thing. Some Acts "fill[ed] the inhabitants [of Boston] with indignation." The Act is trying to cut off all ties and trade with Boston and barely keeping them alive is what I gathered. The authors show their concern at the end of the document by saying, "[...] we are still determined to maintain to the utmost of our abilities the rights of America, we are, gentlemen."
