Extermination plan for Rebels in America letter to Lord North
A purported military officer writes to Lord North proposing drastic measures to crush the American rebellion. He urges a surrounding siege by Howe with foreign troops, executing rebels in one day, murdering their parents in their beds, and then forcibly exploiting daughters while sparing boys aged fourteen and fifteen who have become indoctrinated. The letter frames these acts as necessary for the conquest.
