It is impossible fully to describe the agitated State of the Town since last Sunday, when the News first arrived of the Skirmish between Concord and Boston. ー At all corners People inquisitive for News ー Tales of all Kinds invented believed, denied, discredited . . . 2 Sloops laden by [John] Watts for Boston with Provisions unladen. In that Night the City Armory open the Powder taken out of the Powder House . . . [Isaac] Sears yesterday afternoon with 360 Armed Men waited on [Andrew] Elliot the Collector and got the Keys of the Custom House to shut up the Port ー The Merchants are amazed & yet so humbled as only to sigh or complain in whispers. They now dread Sears's Train of armed Menー
