Another item from London notes: "...That some of the ministers had declared they were against severe measures...That there were some in both Houses who were advocates for the colonies: That it was thought by some the acts would not be repealed: That our friends thought the people here acted very prudently in their agreeing not to use any tea...American affairs engage the attention of the public here, & truly they are in a critical situation. The late resolution of several of the colonies not to import any British manufactures, etc. make great impressions on the minds of the people here..." with more.
