At a meeting of a number of the principal dealers in teas held at the Royal Exchange Tavern. The original record of meetings of Boston tea merchants held to determine what should be done about selling teas. It contains a list of the persons present at the first meeting, the votes passed at both meetings, and a statement of "Capt. Jones's bill for punch &c." for both meetings, with subscriptions towards its payment. These meetings followed the Boston Tea Party, which had taken place December 16th.
