Lord George Somme and Seignor P-ys letter response
A long letter tones the British Empire as noble against tyranny. It praises American independence, condemns cowardice, lauds European admiration, and foresees liberty’s guardian role for America. It criticizes General Howe, Clinton, and German mercenaries, weighs mercy versus brutality, and laments British governance and parallel crimes.
