Queries on British policy and Irish relief in 1743 letter
The author addresses the Daily Post with a series of pointed questions about Britain's role in Ireland and Europe. He asks whether Britain should bear inconveniences from its actions, if the strong should protect the weak, and whether Britain is obliged to defend Ireland given its past interference. He compares treatments of mercenaries, suggests a peaceful settlement restoring Ireland, and ends noting ships and winds for navigation.
