- Notes:
- Contains a list of the party, "furnished by an aged Bostonian", of those "more or less actively engaged in or present at the destruction of the tea". It may be correct as to those "present at" the destruction, but it is certainly not trustworthy as to those who did the work. cf. Proceedings of the Mass. Historical Society, v.13, p.178.
