Financial and political tensions ripple across Europe
London reports Dutch funds at 75 while Britain's at 713, signaling anxiety over potential rupture. Utrecht votes to suspend William V as Captain-General, with mediation talks tied to France, England, and Prussia. Sir William Fawcett heads to Hanover to advance plans, Admiralty strict on six month leaves, and a treasury shortfall noted from a flighted official. Walpole nears a Portuguese trade treaty as France expands fortifications and imposes a passport tax. A bizarre case from Kew reveals John Stone's attachment to the Princess Royal. The piece closes with a long but genuine letter from Stone to Queen Charlotte, hinting at royal intrigue.
