Fire alarm and delayed engines blamed in city blaze
A letter from Boston recounts a major fire and missteps by military guards and engineers. It claims ten days of rumors the Liberty Party would set fires, delays in engine deployment, and poor leadership led to a near total loss risk and a potential 20,000 pound damage if the fire had reached central areas and water routes.
