Doncaster Races and naval news in Portsmuth letter
Postscript reports ships at Portmouth and Spithead with captures and losses in rough seas. Doncaster races yield purses won by Bay Col. Honett Billy, Grey Mare Northern Nancy, and Scrub. London letters note sea actions, appointments, hospital funds, and a madman on the Strand. Also debate on taxation and stage morals.
