Tax and public office wealth and burdens debated in this letter
An extended coarse letter argues over parliamentary use of a 2501 grant, calls out public offices for taking fees, warns of tax burdens after a revolution, critiques projectors in governance, and laments debt. It references a 1757 letter from Harlegrove detailing naval action and stock movements amid ongoing war.
