General note	"This letter, attacking the grant of money by the Assembly for the support of the troops, and suggesting a meeting in opposition to the bill, was declared by the majority in the Assembly to be 'a false, seditious and infamous libel,' and the Lieutenant Governor issued a proclamation offering a reward of one hundred pounds for the discovery of the author. ...
