These letters, which led the Massachusetts House of Representatives to petition for the removal of Hutchinson and Oliver, were written in 1767-1769 and first published, Boston, 1773, under title: "Copy of letters sent to Great-Britain, by His Excellency Thomas Hutchinson, the Hon. Andrew Oliver, and several other persons, born and educated among us ..." They are here reprinted from the second London edition, published by Israel Mauduit in 1774.
