Letter urging country interest in Middlesex election
A 1734 letter to Sir Francis Cureto and Mr William Pulteney argues for prioritizing the country interest in Middlesex, urging lawmakers to oppose standing armies in peace, insist on frugality in Crown aids, and promote frequent elections to hold representatives accountable. It expresses hope for Parliament in service of the country and concludes with the elector’s respectful loyalty. It is signed by an elector on April 15/16, 1734.
