News from Europe and London in an 18th century letter
Yesterday's mail from France mentions Lisbon and Paris with updates on church ceremonies in Rome, the exiled Saxon princess, and the King of Spain's death. Reports detail attempts to ease canal work between Somme and Oise, Royal funding, and a Windsor visit by Mr. Miller. Also included are crime notes, a burglary sentence, and market prices for stocks, lotteries, and burials.
