    Gov. Thomas Hutchinson's letter to James Murray, a justice of the peace, assures Murray that he will take care of himself amid the tense atomosphere in Boston. A note on the letter in an unidentified hand indicates that Hutchinson's life had been threatened as a result of Capt. Thomas Preston's case.
