Postscript on Woolen Manufacturers and Trade Decline
A fragmented letter from Great Ellingham dated April 1351743 discusses the ruin facing English woolen merchants. It argues that heavy imports and foreign competition drain wealth, leaving the poor starving while the rich grow richer. The writer cites Norwich as a key example and condemns the government for neglecting the trade.
