[The listening experience is described in a letter from Thomas Davis to the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of New Hampshire, John Usher, marked ‘Great Island, 31 March, 1693.’ Great Island could be a number of islands in North-eastern colonial territories. Sir William Phips/Phipps, born in humble circumstances in Massachusetts Bay Colony, was the first royally appointed governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay] The sloop not being gone, I must inform you that about 10 o'clock this morning Sir William came from the bank in his pinnace with a trumpet sounding and landed at West's. The sloop at once went out, as also did the pinnace, and Sir William Phips sent word to Mr. Hincks that he had a mind to see the fort. Mr. Hincks answered that unless Sir William paid him the due respect of a visit he would neither come to him nor admit him to the fort. |
