London merchants urged to back Webber plan to save trade
A letter to the City of London readers argues that opposing export of wool will weaken national power. It praises the Draper’s Reply pamphlet and urges a strong petition and parliamentary action to back Mr Webber’s scheme, warning that failure could leave England economically subjugated to France. The author stresses loyalty to the Church of England and urges broad corporate support, with notes on ships and weather at the end.
