Geneva Deputies Plead for French Aid in Fractured Times
A fragment from The Daily Port publishes a French letter of Geneva deputies to King Louis XV and Queen, praising royal mediation and urging unity. It notes Geneva’s gratitude, laments English tensions with France, and questions the deputies’ tone, warning Britons avoid deference to the French Crown. The piece closes with a translator’s reflection on writing in French and September 8.
