Drought Threatens Indian Corn and Bread Supplies
The letter notes drought and heat harming corn, pressuring poor people and enslaved laborers for bread. It recounts a tale from Welbaca with a woman and a Beadle chasing rumors of liquor, a basket emptied of a fine infant, and a seizure of lace and buttons at the Custom-house. It also covers European mediation talks over Juliers and Bergues, and Parliament prorogation with royal plans for winter residence.
