Letter Against Lord Howe War Policy in Disgraceful Terms
An outspoken protest to Lord Howe condemns the planned British war as a disgraceful despotism. The author accuses commanders and soldiers of mercenary motives, warns of national ruin, questions Parliament’s authority, and extols humaneness and citizen rights over military obedience. The letter criticizes Howe’s leadership, compares Britain’s past and present, and implores ethical conduct.
