Damage and war reports fill a Baltic summer notice
The letter describes crop destruction from a storm tearing up trees and rye and damaging oats barley and wheat across a large field. It notes Bavarian troops promised for the Rhine and court life in Hanover with the King shut in. Reports from Mentz and Italy discuss French foraging, German and Allied maneuvers, Mantua defenses, and Armistice talks with Walpole pressures. Warnings of naval provisioning at Cadiz and a wreck in Scotland conclude the item.
