Text Analysis : Circular Letter of the Boston Committee of Correspondence; May 13, 1774
This letter discusses the downsides of the recent act of Parliament for the Boston colony. It is written by The Boston Committee of Correspondence, with the intent of it reaching British Parliament to possibly repeal these acts, as well to alert the people of Boston to these problems. It is these people that they are represnting, as well as trying to protect in this letter. To try and better get their argument across, the tone of this letter stays very straightforward an clear, but you can definatly tell that they are trying to persaude as many people as possible to their side. They do this by pointing out how illogical these changes are if Boston is to survive.
