The act was received in Boston on the lOth of May ; it was printed soon after on paper with mourning lines. The Committee of Correspondence invited the committees of eight neighboring towns to meet for delibera- tion in Faneuil Hall. Samuel Adams pre- sided and Joseph Warren drew up its papers. The inhabitants addressed a circular-letter to all the sister colonies. The effect of the recep- tion of these circulars in the various colonies was the noble purpose to stand by Massachu- setts. Provide...nce resolved that all the colonies were concerned in the Port Act, and recom- mended a congress. In Virginia the House of Burgesses, in resolutions penned by Jefferson, declared that an attack made on one colony was an attack on all, and recommended that the Committee of Correspondence communicate with other committees on the expediency of holding an annual congress. Expressions in favor of a general congress of all the colonies came pouring in from all sides. The people were aroused. The Tories favored the measure as a means most likely to obtain a redress of the Revolution.
