I owe a debt to the crown and a country in peril
A letter by A King's Friend from the Quæa Tree Pall Mall dated Feb 2 critiques ministers for debt and taxes. He tells of his estate of two thousand acres, doubled rents since Charles II, and a diminished household of sixteen. He argues commerce and salaries cannot save the nation, compares monarchy and a republic, and warns administration may curb trade to maintain power. He pleads for print to test reactions among peers.
