considering all the disadvantages under which they fought, they really exhibited prodigies of valor. your description of the distresses of worthy inhabitants of boston and seaport towns is enough to melt a heart of stone. our consolation must be this, my dear. that cities may be rebuilt, and a people reduced to poverty may acquire fresh property, but a constitution of government once changed from freedom, can never be restored. liberty once lost, is lost forever. when the people once surrender their share in the legislature and their right of defending limitations upon the government, and of resisting every encroachment upon them, they can never regain it. it gives me more pleasure than can express to learn that you sustained with so much fortitude shocks of terrors of the times. you are really brave my dear. you are a heroine and you have reason to be, for the worst that can happen than do now harm. a soul as pure as benevolent, as virtuous and pous as yours has nothing to fear. everything to hope and expect from the last of human evils. >> the war continued in new england throughou
