^ " North Castle, May Sth, 1775. Mr. Rivington: -- In your paper lately I saw my name to a protest. I never signed it, but went into Capt. Hatfield's house and was asked whether I was a Whig or a Tory ? I made answer, that I did not understand the meaning of those words, but was for liberty and peace. Upon which I immediately put down my name. Now, sir, I desire you will print this to show the world that I have not deserved to be held up in the light of a protestor.

"Jeremiah Hunter."
