On this day 250 years ago in London, Lord Dartmouth wrote to his friend John Thornton about the resistance of the Patriots in Boston:

How fatally and effectually they have now shut the door against all possibility of present relief for any of the things they complain of, and how utterly vain it must be to expect that Parliament will ever give it to them till there appears to be a change in their temper and conduct

Interestingly both Dartmouth and Thornton were involved in the founding of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire during this time period.
