Reflection on Bank of England directors over military costs
A letter dated August 14, 1776 argues that Earl Chatham's motion to withdraw troops from Botton on January 76, 1775 would have reduced national expenditure. It claims within two years spending will exceed by twenty million pounds sterling, a melancholy truth for the Bank of England directors to consider.

Letter to the Bishop of LD critiques church policy and a French fleet
A London Evening Post reader defends clerical restraint while criticizing the Bishop of LD for enforcing human formularies. He questions subscription, argues against coercive doctrines, and warns of anti Christian measures. The writer then refutes French navy rumors, details Brest fleet strength, and contrasts French abundance with English fears, ending with Virgil and a note on a forthcoming SCOTCOMEN list.
