ANTIGALLICA writes to the printer about a new perpetual calendar table and its errors in January and February. A SPALDINGER signs as a frequent correspondent, discussing naval stores, French influence, and a proposed policy toward Ruffian trade and the Treaty with Russia.
A letter to the Printer of the London Evening Post argues that public and private roads could be better maintained at one third the current expense, suggesting cheaper transport would lower market prices for provisions. The note also references dockyard and marine yard costs, royal visits, theater notices, robberies, and a wide range of local news from Leicester to Pembrokeshire.
A letter from ANTI-TOASTER describes a London club scene where men toast health around a fire, mocking health-drinking as ancient pagan custom. The writer condemns excess, quarrels, and social annoyance, urging readers to discuss the habit more judiciously in future correspondence.
A fragment shows Cobler offering compliments to the widow and guessing she may have seen a paragraph by now, reflecting a brief social exchange. The text hints at a conversation filled with small talk and literary flourish common to period letters.
A fragment from the London Even the Post dated Nov 15 1766 cites Morday's Gazetteer on a legal action involving Thepis and The Widow. The piece notes counsel and warnings about consequences, mentions St George's Fields versus the Park, and references a polemical Pope comparison to Judas with critical verse amid doctrinal disputes.
Intelligence from the Court of an island near Utopia reports that a recently promoted high official in the Law consulted his fellow judges on selecting two or three best to try the Resterd, while excluding himself in a noted display of preference never before seen.
