- Creating a New Government
Knox sends to Governor Strong three affidavits of the surveyors "who were fired upon by assassins on the 13th ultimo." Knox speaks of the "most audacious and blood thirsty villains that ever disgraced the surface of New England." Knox thinks the perpetrators reside in Plymouth county. He wishes that the law come down as hard as possible on them. But strong government agents must be the ones investigating this, because lesser ones would not be as effectual.
