Circular letter
On Feb. 11, 1768, the General Court of Massachusetts sent a circular letter to all the American colonies, in which it asked them to cooperate with Massachusetts in obtaining redress of grievances.
This letter was laid before the English cabinet, which resolved,
1. That the Massachusetts assembly should rescind the letter, and
2. That the other colonial legislatures before whom it had been laid should reject the letter.
The legislature of Massachusetts by a vote of 92 to 17 refused to do the first, and the other legislatures refused to take the required action.
