Summary: "Copy of Letters Sent to Great-Britain by His Excellency Thomas Hutchinson, the…" is a historical account written during the late 18th century. The book comprises correspondences involving Thomas Hutchinson, Andrew Oliver, and other notable figures of the time, focusing on the political unrest and tumultuous relationships between the American colonies and British authority. It serves as a primary source documenting the tensions leading up to the American Revolution, highlighting the conflicts and sentiments surrounding colonial governance and the struggle for American liberties. The book presents a series of letters that outline the challenges faced by colonial officials in Massachusetts, specifically regarding the customs commissioners who faced public outrage and threats from the populace. Hutchinson's correspondence reveals his attempts to communicate the complexities of government operations amidst growing discord and the violent reactions of citizens frustrated by British taxation and control. The letters discuss the withdrawal of customs officials to a British warship for safety, the rising tide of colonial dissent, and the weight of public opinion, reflecting a chaotic period in which loyalty to the Crown was increasingly questioned, culminating in the escalating unrest that would lead to the Revolutionary War. Overall, this collection provides a detailed glimpse into the political landscape of colonial America and the sentiment towards British rule at a significant historical juncture.
