Prisoner carried in a basket after a Russian capture in war
An account recalls a man named Salomon wounded in the thigh during an attack by Russians near a castle, placed in a basket and hidden in a marsh as plan to escape, then betrayed by a Jew to Major Salomon and moved to Pralchnitz for care. Lord Mayor and officials visit St James's to present a congratulatory address on Queen's safe delivery and birth of a prince.

Letter XI Accounts Wilkes Debts and Society Sunlight
The text recounts a 1768 1769 subscription scheme to settle John Wilkes debts amid his parliamentary expulsion. Trustees and gentlemen funded payments while subscriptions grew doubts about spending on his election. A public society at London Tavern named Supporters of the Bill of Rights formed to defend Wilkes publically, with funds raised to satisfy debts and court costs, though Wilkes privately opposed the effort and distrusted its motives.
