In May of 1775, a mysterious letter was sent to British General Thomas Gage here in Boston the likes of which had never been received before. This letter contained far more than meets the eye.

In this video, Katie discovers how Benjamin Thompson, later known as "Count Rumford" a brilliant physicist accused of treachery in the earliest days of the American Revolution used covert chemistry to relay military insights, and why his childhood friend, Patriot militia leader Major Loammi Baldwin trusted him. From desperate petitions to the Provincial Congress to the first invisible‑ink correspondence of the American Revolution, this video reveals the secret Revolutionary War letter, that you were never meant to see.
