Also asks Knox to write him a letter describing the state of things in Boston; at the time, the British had just passed the Intolerable Acts, including the Boston Port Bill, which closed Boston Harbor on 1 June 1774. Suggests that committees in New York and Philadelphia will urge payment for the tea, possibly referring to either the tea tax or the tea destroyed at the Boston Tea Party. He believes such an action will go a great way towards a conciliation of these unhappy Distractions. Congratulates Knox on his marriage. Indicates that he will send a pamphlet that will increase sales of Keysey Pills, which he earlier arranged to have Knox sell (see GLC02437.00062, GLC02437.00120 and GLC02437.00122 for discussion of the pills). Rivington was a bookseller, printer, and journalist who came to America in 1760. He published Rivington's New-York Gazetteer.
