Esther's Letter to the Massachusetts General Court
Mary Dyer was one of three Quakers banished from Massachusetts in 1659. They were sentenced to be hanged on the gallows until they died. While awaiting her execution, Dyer wrote a letter to the Massachusetts General Court. She made a prophetic statement about what would happen if the colony took the lives of any of the Quakers who had faced trial with her words.
