Who's the target audience? I like the format, but it's still heavy reading.

First paragraph:
Samuel Adams paid me a visit last evening and asked me to write to you. He feels our work in the Committee of Correspondence is more important than ever. We in the several Colonies must keep each other informed. Only then can we stand truly united against British oppression.

Hmm. Your average student isn't going to take the time to process what is written.

This book had a merchant writing to another man. It talks about the taxing, and the preparations for the Tea Party. We did study about this, but the book has some interesting facts.
