On this day 250 years ago the Sons of Liberty in Boston delivered the following letter to one of the consignees of the tea then on ships on their way to Boston:
The Freemen of this Province understand, from good authority, that there is a quantity of tea consigned to your house by the East India Company, which is destructive to the happiness of every well-wisher to his country. It is therefore expected that you personally appear at [the] Liberty Tree, on Wednesday next, at twelve o’clock at noon day, to make a public resignation of your commission…
Fail not upon your peril.
