Sorry about the lack of citations. I modified the page but did not include specific citations because the book was already referenced. 
 I am the author of Quelch's Gold, recently published and was very pleased to see that Deflagro had added an entry. The book is the most extensive study done of Quelch and was researched and written over three years. Primary sources are listed in the book and include the Calendar of State Papers from the British Archives in London, the records of the Massachusetts Council at the Massachusetts State Archives, and The Boston News-Letter, America's first newspaper, copies held at the Massachusetts Historical Society. I stand by my version of the entry and hope that the editors will reconsider reinstating it.
