"TO THE MAIN GUARD"
"POOR SAM!"
"BOTH REGIMENTS OR NONE!"
"Your Lordship must know that Liberty Tree is a large, old Elm in the High Street, upon which the effigies were hung in the time of the Stamp Act, and from whence the mobs at that time made their parades. It has since been adorned with an inscription, and has obtained the name of Liberty Tree, as the ground under it has that of Liberty Hall. In August last, just before the commencement of the present troubles, they erected a flagstaff, which went through the tree, and a good deal above the top of the tree. Upon this they hoist a flag as a signal for the Sons of Liberty, as they are called."
Extract from a letter written by Governor Bernard to Lord Hillsborough under date of June 18, 1768.
