William W. Hening, Richmond, to St. George Tucker
- Scope and content:
-
The lack of documents relating to colonies immediately proceeding the revolution led me into an error as to the events in 1774. Since there were no laws passed, I assumed no assembly had been held that year. Will you sketch a paragraph about the period from the end of 1773 to the beginning of 1775. I plan to publish journal of March 1775 in a separate volume. I understand there was a convention held in Williamsburg in August 1774, but can find no information about it. Includes a list of journals and newpapers sent to Mr. Hening.
