Greville's letter to his mother[edit]

Drdpw, since no Americans wrote an account of the Drawing of Lots (I wonder why not?), his letter to his mother is one of only two eyewitness accounts of what happened on the day. How can this not be relevant, since without his and Samuel Graham's accounts, nobody would have a clue how it all panned out. I just cannot believe you think this fact is not relevant here.

I agree with you that Greville's account is relevant. My point was that there's no need to state that he wrote to his mother about the experience and that the letter was published in Mayo's book. If someone follows the citation link and reads, they will realize all this in short order. Drdpw (talk) 03:15, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please change ref. 1 to this The Journal of Lancaster County’s Historical Society VOL. 120, NO. 3 WINTER 2019 since the current link goes to a 1959 edition of the Journal. A lot of references on WP are behind a paywall. So far as ref. 2 is concerned, please return Cordless Larry's drop-down menu explaining the errors. Without it, it appears as though you are protecting the Americans from having decided not to have Appendix 2 in their Brace version - perhaps because it was such a shameful and despicable act to hang an innocent man, who was protected by treaty.
