	[Page 2] [column 3] NEW-YORK, December 6, 1773. [This dateline relates to the date of the publication of the letter.] WHEREAS our nation have lately been in- formed, that the fetters which have been forged for us (by the parliament of Great-Britain) are hourly expected to arrive, in a certain ship, be- longing to, or chartered by, the East-India Compa- ny. We do therefore declare, that we are determi- ned not to be enslaved, by any power on earth ; and that whosoever shall aid, or abet, so infamous a de- sign, or shall presume to let their store, or stores, for the reception of the infernal chains, may depend up- on it, that we are prepared, and shall not fail to pay them an unwelcome visit, in which they shall be treated as they deserve ; by The MOHAWKS. New York, Nov. 27, 1773. [This dateline relates to the date of the letter.]
