When Ben’s brother James started a weekly newspaper called The new England Courtland, Ben wrote a series of humorous letters, In these letters, he made fun of the Harvard students. The letters captured the attention of many people in Boston. His brother did not know it was Ben because he signed the letters as Mrs Silence Dogood.
