Humble Letter Urges Low Provision Prices and Charity
A reader identifies as Humanus asks Parliament to curb import delays and profiteering that push up provisions. He warns against favoritism to rivals, urges the rich to reduce amusements and aid the poor, noting a pit ticket feeds many with beef and bread. He recalls Lord Digby’s charitable example and recalls a church built by Digby with a Pope verse about building for God, not wealth.

Question of political conduct and wartime duties debated
A lengthy excerpt discusses whether a major political figure should resign a borough seat and rally support for another candidate, amid broader reflections on leadership, naval orders, prize disputes, and upcoming public notices. References to Spain, Gibraltar provisions, East Florida fort repairs, and naval captors frame the era’s political tension and military concerns.
