`The present war is only between the King and a part of the Lords and America. The Lords say all Americans shall become slaves or servants to them, shall plow no more than they say, EAT NOR DRINK nor hunt BUT ONLY BY THEIR LEAVE, shall not kill deer, moose, beaver or any other thing but by their consent. Americans say they will and that the King by the Lords advice has sent redcoats to kill us if we will
