Pipers Seized and London Charity Report From Edinburgh
In Edinburgh a batch of piper recruits linked to John Jomson, late Warehouse Keeper, is to go to London for charity work. News from Damascus, customs officials reveal a candid letter about government misdeeds and a £505 bank note donation to aid government use. Royal Navy ships prepare for Spithead, with reports of appointments, annual payments, and a journey of the Earl of Essex to Turin. A remarkable 103-year-old woman in Hockley regains sight, and a chair of state for the Empress of Russia is described as an astonishing craft.
