Correspondent letter laments biased British papers and war rumors
The author urges the Daily Post to publish his political miscellany. He quizzes European power plays between the Turks and Christians, questions Vienna and Petersbourg diplomacy, and cites Bragadins’ sacrifice and the brutal fate of Cyprus to argue for steadfast treaties and courage. He ends with a pledge of humble service.
