	Title:	Revolutionary War letter
	Dates:	1777
	Abstract:	This long letter, dated January 6, 1777, discussed contentions within a Presbyterian Synod in Lonehead, Scotland. Although there may be some vague references to the American Revolution, the content of the letter is primarily aimed at the Synod and its policies. The letter criticizes the current minister and opposes the King’s request for a fast day. Arguably, the opposition to the fast day could be interpreted as giving support to the American revolutionaries. View finding aid for a full description
