In 1772, partly in reaction to the Boston Massacre (1770), the citizens of Boston met in a special town meeting to create a Committee of Correspondence. The leaders of the group were Samuel Adams and James Warren of Plymouth. The idea for setting up the Committees of Correspondence probably came from Mercy Warren, the sister of James Otis, who was Warren's wife. Mercy Warren was an eager rebel who often lent her pen to the cause, writing plays that poked fun at British officials.
The purpose for the Committees of Correspondence was to help people in other colonies stay in contact with the Boston rebels. They could exchange ideas, coordinate plans, and reinforce one another's efforts. By the end of 1773, the network extended throughout New England and began to function as shadow governments within the colonies.
