In this letter, William Black lets the Boston Committee of Donations know to expect a delivery of "wheat, corn & flour" as well as rum, molasses and butter, from his hometown of James River, Virginia, despite the possibility of his schooner the Dunmore "being froze up at Boston". He also reports on acts of resistance in the Annapolis, Maryland port, where "a ship from London who had only two half chests of Lyson Tea on bord was sent back again to England in Ballast and the Tea thrown into York River".
