Dear King George III,
I do not like that you closed the Boston Harbor! Here are some reasons why I want you to open up Boston Harbor again. First, the closing prevented supplies from entering the harbor, so us colonists can sell our goods such as clothing, dishes, sugar and flour. Next, Pennsylvania and New York colonists did not allow British tea ships to enter the large city ports and sent ships out into the harbors to block the tea ships. It wasn't our fault that other colonies stopped the tea ships. Finally, the blockade also prevents merchants, such as myself, from selling goods.This will cause my family and I to close our shop. As you can see, I really want you to open the Boston Harbor back up so us colonists can sell our goods again.
Sincerely,
Brooklyn Jackson
