City Letters Tell of Trade, Crime and Port News
A London period piece reports widespread poverty driving relief seeking, ship movements, and prices for barley. It notes Captain Pender of the Mermaid drowned after a gale, outward-bound merchant ships, and royal court visits, with further items on thefts, police actions, a controversial Archbishop book, and advertisements for lotteries and legal guides.
