Excerpt from A Narrative of Events Which Occurred in Baltimore Town During the Revolutionary War: To Which Are Appended, Various Documents and Letters, the Greater Part of Which Have Never Been Heretofore Published

The following narrative was read before the His torical Society of Maryland, at their sitting in January, 1847. It has been compiled principally from documents which had been in the posses sion of my father, the late Robert Purviance, from the date of the events to which they refer. His family knew nothing of their existence until two years ago, when in a general search for papers in the custom house, they were found amid a vast collection of old documents, which had been the accumulation of more than half of a century. As they treated of events which had occurred in Bal timore during the Revolutionary war, of which few memorials had been preserved, I thought I would collect from them such as might be con sidered worthy of preserving, and present them, which I now do, in a publication, to the com munity, of whose early patriotism they bear so.
