Worcester June 13th. 1774 : Gentlemen. Many persons in this county conceiving that an agreement not to purchase the goods which are or shall be imported before the 31st. of August next can answer no valuable end ... and as the committee of Boston in their last letter have informed us that they do not mean to dictate to us ... We are of the opinion, that the enclosed covenant is by no means inconsistent with the spirit or intention of the form sent out by them .
